Any recommendations for Linux-based tool for checking the availability/integrity of a web site? I don't want to just check for the existence of a service on port 80, I want to, at a minimum, check for appropriate/correct page content, and preferably be able to script up some navigation, form submittal etc.
I would need notification by email (or some other appropriate means) if variance from correct functionality is detected. I guess something like a cron job executing wget | grep | wc | mail would be a basic solution, but I'm hoping that there's something more powerful already out there. Sadly I don't have time to write something wonderful myself right now. Relevance: we're almost 100% Windows (desktops and servers) in ChCh; a few of us are advocating transferring to Linux where we can justify it. Cheers all, Roy. -- my opinions, not my employer's ...
