Others have given good suggestions to grab the page content, but I just want to point out that your test will not determine if the site has been compromised, only if it has been defaced. A cracker might have installed all sorts of nasty backdoors and such that would never show up on your webpage. If you have the ability to ssh to your webserver and check the md5sum of the programs themselves (instead of just their output) then this is a preferable approach. -- The best way to get a good answer is to ask a good question.
