HTTPPoll
Introduction
HTTPPoll is a website monitoring and alert program. It polls
a list of URLs at periodic intervals, and notifies you when any of
them returns an error code. HTTPPoll can run three types of
alerts:
Email. This can be especially useful if you have a beeper-enabled email address.
Dialog box. This is handy if you are at your computer. The pop up box will notify you of the problem as soon as it is detected.
Shell script. If you want to perform an action automatically when a website goes down, you can write your own script and have
HTTPPollrun it.
HTTPPoll is a command-line driven program, written in the
Java language. It is released under the
GNU General
Public License and uses a variety of Open Source libraries,
including: Jakarta commons
HTTPClient
and cli,
JDOM,
JavaMail,
and log4j.
You may download the latest release from the SourceForge project site.
