“Perhaps (left arrow)body(right arrow) will work for you…”

To fix, this line:
> CURL=$(curl -s –head $site)
became
> CURL=$(curl -s $site)

and
> if echo $CURL | grep “200 OK” > /dev/null
became
> if echo $CURL | grep “some text that was on my page” > /dev/null

If you still want to monitor multiple sites, use some text that is guaranteed to appear on your pages but also won’t appear on a failed page. Perhaps “” will work for you but I’ve not tested.

You would first have to store the persisted errors in a log, then count them after a certain amount has been reached to trigger the email. A bit more complex than the script provided.

This script was given to be simple and to the point, to check if the site is responding at certain intervals.

This script only checks if the site is responding correctly and returning 200 Success response.

Thanks again

Scripts looks fine, but what if I want to see what error is showing when loading a site pointed in the sites.txt?

Thanks
