I must say its been an enlightening experience, this thread.

I may be treading off topic here, but your advice was really worthwhile and I would like to share what I'm looking to accomplish at the moment.

We have OpenView Operations (OVOW) as our systems maangement tool, and I've worked previously with Network Node Manager, however it doesn't seem our comapny's too keen to go that direction just yet.

All the services we provide are web-based applications hosted on multiple portals, so what we need here is basically an internet services monitoring and reporting application. This script is a first step in that direction and will be run as a scheduled task from OVOW and send integrated events on failure.

Once I have this in place I'll continue searching for ways in which we can enahnce the website monitoring and reporting.

by the way, in your opinion is this script robust enough to be used for this kind of monitoring. Is it possible to run the get command multiple times in the same script and having a correlation of three consecutive not 200 OK results to be reported as a single failure

Looking forward to continue my learning
