bash about url existence
Hi,
I want to make a bash script which is running like :
1.sh http://www. google.com

and check if the url does exist printing a message.

I want to save the source code of this page in a file.

Could you help me ?

wget "${WEBSITE}" -O /path/to/saved/file || echo "Couldn't contact ${WEBSITE}"

thanks for your code

I would like to give the url as a parameter with 1.sh
and the temporary file to create the script if there is url.

I have to write -- >

if [ $@ > 0 ]
then

??

Code:
#!/bin/sh

if [ $# -ne 2 ]
then
        echo "$0 Needs 2 parameters"
        exit 1
fi

if wget --quiet "$1" -O "$2"
then
        echo "$1 exists"
        exit 0
else
        echo "$1 could not be retrieved"
        exit 1
fi
