Hi All,

Now we are gonna check the particular website is up or not. For that we need the lynx command

lynx is a general purpose distributed information browser for the World Wide Web

if you don’t have command in your OS, then you can download and install it from the below URL

http://lynx.isc.org/

or if you use the ubuntu, then execute the below command

sudo apt-get install lynx

Once it is installed, you can try the below program.

$ cat website_test.sh
lynx -dump $1 &> /dev/null
if [ $? = 0 ]
then
echo “website is up”
else
echo “website is down. Trigger the email”
fi

Output :

$ ./website_test.sh http://google.com
website is up
$ ./website_test.sh http://google32323232.com
website is down. Trigger the email
