Checking Web Pages?
Hey guys,

Unfortunatley, I can not use wget on our systems....

I am looking for another way for a UNIX script to test web pages and let me know if they are up or down for some of our application.

Has anyone saw this before?

Thanks,

Ryan

Code:
#!/usr/bin/python
from urllib import urlopen
doc = urlopen("http://www.python.org").read()
print doc
