DESCRIPTION

22       websec is a web page monitoring software.  It will send you a changed
23       web page with the contents highlighted.
24
25       The base directory is the place from which websec will read the config
26       files and in which it will store its data.
27
28       When called without an argument, websec will look for a base directory.
29       If the current directory has url.list it will use it, otherwise it will
30       try to use $HOME/.websec/. You can also override this process with the
31       --base option.
32
33       You can add a line like AddSubject = [websec] to url.list, websec will
34       add [websec] to every subject as a first word when mail is sent. You
35       can then easily detect this line by a mail filter.
36
37       The keywords Retry, Retrywait, and Timeout in url.list lets you specify
38       the number of times to retry, time to wait between retries, and a
39       timeout setting.
40
41       Websec waits for a random number of seconds between retries up to the
42       value specified by the Randomwait keyword. This is to prevent websec
43       from being blocked by websites that perform log analysis to find time
44       similarities between requests.
