Update: The service is defunct. The code for it was only on perlmonk.org, which now seems to be down for the count. Please disregard the below. My regrets to all.

- Perlmonks Threaded Article Viewer
- monk notification feature ...
- A feature for Personal Nodelet
- Email notifications again
- RFC: Subscription to nodes
- Working Node Tracker?
- Watching a thread
- "Watching" (and possibly "ignoring") threads
- New PM Feature Request - Node Watch
- There's a reply to a reply to one of my posts
Its public interface is implemented entirely via
private messaging.
You send commands to the service via
/msg watcher ....and watcher sends responses to you in your message inbox.
Full documentation for the service should always be available on watcher's homenode. This service is still quite new, and will probably be undergoing significant development in the coming months.
This is not an official service of PerlMonks. It is hosted off site. All comments, questions, suggestions, and complaints about it should be directed to me. Being hosted on perlmonk.org, there is no guarantee that it will be around forever. Please do not use watcher while operating heavy machinery.
