Monitor URL using cron job

Simple cron job to monitor a URL and notify via e-mail if no response is received.

You can use cPanel to set these, enter the following:

wget --no-cache --spider www.google.com &> /home/user/tmp/mail.txt || mail -s "Google website down" admin@google.com < /home/user/tmp/mail.txt

And run, say every 5 mins. Job done!

N.B.: If adding this via cPanel, you need to create the mail.txt at the specified location using file manager and set permissions to ’777′ for this to work properly.
