Bash Script to Check Site Code Status with Email Alert
Ever want a low cost way to check and make sure your site is loading correctly?
Here is a bash script that will send you an email alert when your site does not return a 200 status code
#!/bin/bash ####################################################################################### #Script Name :alertsitedown.sh #Description :send alert email when 200 is not returned #Author :Brian Nelson #Email :brian[at]briansnelson.com ####################################################################################### #Check the Status of a site SC=$(curl --silent -IL $1 -A "Website Checker - https://briansnelson.com/Bash_Script_to_Check_Site_Code_Status_with_Email_Alert" | grep ^HTTP | awk '{print $2}'); ##Now lets check if it gives a 200 if [ "$SC" != "200" ]; then #echo 'Site Error!!!!' echo "Alert for $1 - Error Code $SC" | /usr/bin/mail -s "Alert for $1" 555555555[at]vzwpix.com else #echo 'Site Working' fi
After creating your script make sure to make it executable
chmod +x alertsitedown.sh
Usage
Very simple usage, set it up as a cronjob
crontab -e
Run every minute for best results
* * * * * /bin/bash /<location of script>/alertsitedown.sh https://briansnelson.com/
Replace our domain with the domain you wish to check, and there you go, a site down script checker.
