The built-in scripting language provides a simple way to automate tasks in WebSite-Watcher.


The scripting language is line-oriented, which means that each command must be placed on a separate line. See also the chapter Syntax overview.

Edit scripts

WebSite-Watcher includes a built-in script editor that can be opened from the "Script" menu.


To quickly open a script in the editor, hold down the Shift key while selecting a script from the "Script" menu.

Special scripts

Special scripts are executed automatically at appropriate times. For example, the "Autostart" script runs when WebSite-Watcher starts. You can find and edit these special scripts in the "Edit special script" menu. All other scripts must be started manually from the "Script" menu or via the command line.


  • Autostart script
    This script runs automatically when WebSite-Watcher starts.

  • Scripts for toolbar buttons
    WebSite-Watcher can optionally display three toolbar buttons that execute special scripts. You can also assign keyboard shortcuts to these scripts.

  • Scripts executed after each check run
    WebSite-Watcher can optionally execute a script after each check run. Not all commands are allowed in these scripts. The script editor displays a notification if a disallowed command is used.
