Hmm... I thought specto was able to start even if the websites did not respond?
It
would put errors everywhere but it would still start no?

I had some watches with refreshing-time 1 day. When Specto was started (and the
connection to the Internet wasn't up yet) it tried to compare and couldn't. It
would
then not try again when the Internet was up. So the watch never gets checked if
the
computer isn't up at the exact time when the watch was set.

It makes sense... The only problem I see with the script is that it runs the
version
of specto that is installed system-wide, not the one you use with launch.sh
(unless
you adapt the script). But setup.py may be fixed soon so it could be used.
However, it seems to me this is a band-aid solution. I think it could make more
sense
to instead add this check directly in the code. For example, on startup of
Specto,
before doing "start_all_watches", we could try pinging google, and sleep if it
doesn't work. That way you would not need a special launcher script.

I added the feature in the SVN trunk, revision 7, could you try it out and see
if it
suits you? You could use launch.sh on your session startup until setup.py is
entirely
fixed.

Done. Works great (revision 9).
