I don't really get what you're after but here's some hint for bash:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

CONFIGFILE=<path to file>
LOGFILE=<path to log file>

read URL < "$CONFIGFILE"

echo "Fetching $URL..."
wget -o "$LOGFILE" "$URL"

# examine based from return value

case "$?" in
0)
    ....
    ;;
1)
    echo "WARN"
    ;;
2)
    echo "ERROR/FATAL"
    ;;
esac

# examine from logfile

if grep '<expression>' "$LOGFILE" >/dev/null; then
    ...
elif grep ...; then
    ...
...
fi
