URL Monitoring
Dear All,

I need to monitor few URL sequences for my web site. just to tell u guys we have a very business critical financial portal.

I am looking out for a script which will automatically shoot a mail as soon an any of the URL sequence is gone down.

we also have the error page which will be displayed to the end user if the link is not available.

Any help would be apprecialted.

Thanks,
Siddhesh.k

1. Scripting is not the very right way to do so, you have lot websites/tools/services which can SMS to your mobile about the unavailability of your web page...

There are several, websites such as: SiteUptime - Website Monitoring Service and so on..

2. If you would only want a script to do that., use wget --spider as:

-- For successful URLs
Code:
$ wget --spider URL
Spider mode enabled. Check if remote file exists.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: unspecified [text/html]
Remote file exists and could contain further links,
but recursion is disabled -- not retrieving.

-- For failure URLs

Code:
$ wget --spider URL
Spider mode enabled. Check if remote file exists.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
Remote file does not exist -- broken link!!!
