+DSPCgecko Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Since I started monitoring the 60CSx via an automated process on Friday, Jan. 16, the unit has been on sale 4 different times: Tuesday, 1/20, 10:30-11:40 (less than 78 minutes) Tuesday, 1/20, 13:10-13:25 (less than 23 minutes) Wednesday, 1/21, 22:05 (less than 9 minutes) Thursday, 1/22, 22:10 (less than 9 minutes) If I was a betting man, I would wager it will happen again.

+DSPCgecko Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 How did you set up the automated process to monitor this??? TIF.... Linux server + script + cronjob Cron runs the script every 5 minutes. The script grabs the 60CSx web page from amazon and parses out the current price. If the price on the web page is lower than my threshold price, then an email is sent. David Quote Link to comment
