tool for checking website

[Derek Ragona]

Typically I do:
====================================================
#!/bin/sh

WGET=/usr/local/bin/wget
DIFF=/usr/bin/diff
MAIL=/usr/bin/mail
CAT=/bin/cat
RM=/bin/rm
MAILFILE=/tmp/site_report
MY_URL=http://www.mydomain.com
MY_PAGE=index.html
MY_REF_PAGE=/usr/local/www/good/index.html


cd /tmp
$WGET $MY_URL/$MY_PAGE
$DIFF $MY_PAGE $MY_REF_PAGE
if [ "$?" -eq 1 ]
    echo "Site is down" > $MAILFILE
    echo " " >> $MAILFILE
    echo "Bad page retrieved:" >> $MAILFILE
    $CAT $MY_PAGE >> $MAILFILE
    echo " " >> $MAILFILE
    $MAIL -s "Website Problem Report" me at mydomain.com < $MAILFILE
fi
====================================================

This will verify the page is being served, and the content is correct.
