status.sh
Simple Bash script to generate a static status page. Displays status of websites, services (HTTP, SAP, MySQL...) and ping. Everything easy to customize.
You can also easily check more complicated things with this script. For example if a text is present in a web page or if a host appears in the route path (traceroute). Checking the route path is useful, for instance, if you have a backup mobile internet connection in addition to your cable connection.
