RoboAmp
RoboAmp is a poor man's website monitoring software. It has two modes - ping and deep check. Ping check mode tests for basic network connectivity and deep check looks for a user specified error string to determine if the site is offline. RoboAmp outputs to the terminal, but can also output to a 16x2 LCD screen (via GPIO) when run on a Raspberry pi. RoboAmp also has the option to send SMS messages when a site goes down and comes back online via google voice. A google voice account is required for this functionality.
Usage:
RoboAmp -d/-p -u url [ -s str -p -l -g gmail -t timeout -v]
-d Deep check (check url content)
-p Ping check (check network connectivity)
-u URL of site to check
-s String to verify site is offline
-l Use 16x2 LCD (Raspberry PI)
-g Gmail address for gvoice SMS notification
-t Seconds to wait between checks
-v Turns on extra verbosity
