Thank you! I am going to write the program, so I can write it in a way that makes it easy to interface with emacs. I was thinking about making it a publisher on the dbus and make my emacs code a subscriber so I do not need to care of the running time of the program. Any alternative suggestion is welcome. The program would periodically access a webpage, check its content and notify if changes match a bunch of criteria
If Emacs will start a long-running process and react whenever there's new output, then you'll want to see
C-h i g (elisp)Asynchronous Processes
andC-h i g (elisp)Output from Processes
. (n.b. I've added a couple of other notes to my initial reply, too.)
