Hey guys and gals,
I'm wondering what the best way to monitor a few important websites for changes might be? I need something that'll check every hour or two for changes and then send me a SMS or e-mail as notification. I found a few web services that only seem to offer day-to-day change monitoring and not hour-by-hour.

How about specto in AUR

Edit: I'm not sure it has email/SMS notification though. Probably best to set up a cron job that downloads the web page, compares it to a cached version and send a message if different. Shouldn't be too hard to script.

If you want to code it, you can use libdownload to fetch a file, while comparing the 'mtime' to that on disk. 8)
