GoST

GoST is a dumb Go script that check constantly the uptime/status code of a WebServer. GoST stands for Go Site Tracker

Why?

Mainly because I'm bored. I don't have any reason to use a program like this. It's an exercise. I want to make practice with GoLang

How?

GoST has no GUI. So it's a CLI program. You need to pass arguments to gost to make it run.

Arguments

<url> is the target you want to track.
<request delay> (in seconds) is the delay between checks.
<logfile> (optional) is where GoST should pipe the output.

Examples:

gost https://foo.bar
gost https://jackrendor.cf 4 jackrendor_site.log
gost https://google.com 50 google.log

Output example:

Command:

gost https://jackrendor.cf 1 foobar.log

Output:

2018-11-26 16:51:01 SUCCESS 200
2018-11-26 16:51:12 SUCCESS 200
2018-11-26 16:51:23 UNKOWN -1 Get https://jackrendor.cf: dial tcp 163.172.187.71:443: connect: network is unreachable

Install

First of all, install go.
Run ./build.sh to create an executable inside the bin/ folder.
Run sudo ./install.sh or su -c ./install.sh to place the file inside /usr/local/bin/.
