It sounds like a monitoring service might be in order. There are a few that will monitor a single page for free and only charge for extensive monitoring.

If it'll take longer to download/set up/learn to configure/mess with configuration than it will for me to write something simple, I'll just go write it!

Yeah, I can use Nagios but that's waaayyy overdone and waaaaayyy overcomplicated. >>>> >>>> All I need is something I can give a list of websites (or URLs), have it do an HTTP connection to, possibly look for a string in the resulting webpage and let me know "Hey that worked" or "Hey I got a HTTP/200 but that string wasn't there" or "Hey it won't even talk on port 80". Be nice if it can represent the output as HTML and allow to setup some email alerts, but producing a nice processable text result would be enough. >>>> >>>> Anyone? >>>> >>>> -- >>>> _______________________________________________ >>>> TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota >>>> tclug-list at mn-linux.org >>>> http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list >>> _______________________________________________ >>> TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota >>> tclug-list at mn-linux.org >>> http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list >> _______________________________________________ >> TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota >> tclug-list at mn-linux.org >> http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
