Interesting. I just got a substitute certificate in WA with the intention of subbing for a few days in the first two weeks of Jan. I was earlier certificated in WA and endorsed in Math, CS, Physics. I wrote a little script to do exactly what you are asking for, refreshing every 15 minutes or so. After not seeing anything for several days, I called up to find out whether everything was in order. Turns out, WA does not transfer endorsements, so the substitute certificate, despite no expiration, is approximately worthless, and $100 out the door. Turns out there is another certificate which would have cost $15 more, also (effectively) without expiration, which does include the endorsements. I really have to wonder why WA has done this.
In any case, I have done the type of page sequencing you refer to with IE and PHP, which I find fairly efficient for this type of scenario. It is started off via the scheduler. It used to be possible to do this via Greasemonkey, but you had to know the trick because command line args to FF were really messed up at the time I investigated. I expect that has changed in the last two years or so, as implied by your post. My PHP script runs in the background, but it does open IE (internet explorer) as a log window to show that it is still running as scheduled. When there is nothing going on, it just adds the time of the most recent attempt to the log. If, however, something is found, then it shows what is found and has the PC speak a short text in case I'm around. Of course your pages would have to be customised for your specific purpose, but it should be straightforward. If you're interested, then you should let me know. I won't be able to work on it until Monday as I'm traveling till the weekend.
