Pop-up alerts

Pop-up alerts can optionally appear, indicating when a page has been updated.

Pop-up windows can either automatically close after 8 seconds, or they can remain open until you close them.

Use the pull-down menu to select the position of the pop-up windows on your desktop.

Alert sound

As well as visual alerts, you can opt to play a sound when a page is updated.

Select either the default sound ("click-click") or a custom sound using the "Browse..." button.

Press the "Test sound" button to check the alert sound is correct.

Update logging

A log of updates can be kept. Use the "Browse..." button to select the log's filename.

Example log entry:

Description : Example web page
Address     : http://www.example.com/
Date & Time : 12th January 2002 16:26.03

Startup checking

WebMon can check all web pages automatically every day when starting - this works in the same way as manually clicking the Check all web pages button. Starting WebMon subsequently on the same day will not result in automatic checks.
