DocuMonitor 7.0.4

What do you do when you want to monitor webpages in real-time, be on top of changes made to internet documents? The answer to this one is quite simple: you do what I always do. And what I always do is turn to software and see if there is an application out there that can lend a helping hand.

The Eastbow Lab-developed DocuMonitor is precisely that type of app. DocuMonitor has been designed to automatically check for changes made to internet documents; it allows you to monitor websites in real-time. But that is not all that DocuMonitor does. This Eastbow Lab-developed application also provides a server availability check. DocuMonitor uses visual, acoustic, and email notifications to let your know when something has changed.

With DocuMonitor you can monitor changes made to the following types of internet documents:
- Webpages: .htm, .html, .dhtml, .asp, .php, .xml, and so on.
- Web files stored on the web server
- Files stored on FTP servers
- Files on the local disk or shared folder

DocuMonitor employs three ways of checking complex and dynamic webpages: simple comparison, count for a specific string, middle string comparison.

Before you go get DocuMonitor and put it to the test, take a look at the details presented below:
