Does Anyone Know How to Run Websec?

[mhumm2]

I've installed Websec, but the instructions I found on the Internet are a bit vague and I'm having some trouble getting it to actually send me an email. I've created a URL.lst and websec is able to use it.

Question, is it good enough to put the home page of a web site for websec to check the entire site for changes or should I list each page of a web site as a separate URL? Please advise.

url.list - websec url monitoring configuration

Would appear that you need to identify each 'unique' url you want to monitor.

Hi Snowhog;

Yes, I believe so.

My real problem now is that nothing is being emailed to me even though it says it is.

mark@AMD-System:~$ websec

Processing => [url]http://www."default[/url] webpage here".com (TIS Home) ...

Sending highlighted page to "my email address here"
AMD-System:~$

I did blank out the web page and my email address for security reasons, but is there anything wrong with having websec send an email to myself? Would it be a problem for my system to send an email to myself? I ask because I'm not getting them and the email address cited in the websec output is correct.

If your email account is a web mail server, such as gmail or yahoo, check your spam folder.

It's not. I'm using Kmail.
