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.
