Hello,,

I need script which send me email if specific URL using 8080 port goes down.

e.g http://linuxquestions.org.com:8080

Thanks.

lynx -dump -connect_timeout=10 http://your_url | grep -i "Unable to connect to remote host" && cat <<"EOF"
Webserver doesn't work.
EOF
| sendmail -r nobody@yourdomain -s "Warning" admin@yourdomain

Put content below into a file called testurl.sh, followed by a chmod u+x testurl.sh

It works, I have tried it

#!/bin/bash
lynx -dump -stderr -connect_timeout=3 http://yout_url_2_test 2> /dev/stdout | grep -i "Unable to connect to remote host" && mail -s "warning" your_email_address <<"EOF"
test failure
EOF

or you could maybe even try fiddling with netcat....?
