Php-cli app to check the status code of an URL.
If the status code is 200 the url works; otherwise, the app will send a message to the list of emails.
Any configuration about email account and emails list are placed in inc/conf.php file.
Clone repository and manage dependencies with composer:
- $
git clone https://github.com/marlenesco/URL-Health-Check.git - $
composer install
It works via Command Line Interface (php-cli), exec the following command:
php index.php -uhttps://www.google.com
Setting up a crontab:
$ crontab -e
In crontab editor insert the following line:
*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /{Application-Path}/index.php -u{URL-TO-CHECK}
- Check your php installation directory (/usr/local/bin/php in above case).
- Replace
{Application-Path}with your application installation directory. - Replace
{URL-TO-CHECK}with a valid URL to check.
You can check more URLs in your crontab job:
*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /{Application-Path}/index.php -u{URL-TO-CHECK}
*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /{Application-Path}/index.php -u{ANOTHER-URL-TO-CHECK}
In this case, */5 * * * * every 5 minutes meaning.
