url-ok

url-ok

url-ok is a HTTP and HTTPS status checker for URLs. The default timeout is 120 seconds at which point it will abort the checks and the process will have an exit code of 1. If all the checks are successfull (success is defined as returning 200), the process will have an exit code of 0.

If a URL cannot be reached, it will continue to try to reach the URL every second up to the timeout. For HTTP, it uses a HEAD request while for HTTPS it uses GET.

Options

--timeout to set a specific timeout in seconds (default 120 seconds)
--interval to set a specific interval between attempts (defaults to one second)
--verbose to enable verbose output
--debug to enable extremely verbose output
