Great read that shows how web scarping can easily be utilised in a meaningful way.

However, doesn't this script either send out the same text very often, or potentially send it out too late (by e.g. only letting the cronjob run every 6 hours)?

I assume that time is of the essence in this situation. Some sort of log on sent texts would surely be helpful.

Right, that's a very good point! That actually got very annoying when I first deployed this script, but I ended up adding a kind of logging to it. I wanted to keep the script in the post as simple as possible, but here is the one I'm actually using: https://gist.github.com/jamesbvaughan/4c501fc99acb75852756a4...
