RE: how to tell if website hosted on iseries is down

["Shannon ODonnell" <sodonnell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

He does?  

I was just going by what he posted in his original message which was how to
tell if his website is up or not on his iSeries.

You got more out of that question than I did I guess.

You're missing his point, Shannon.

He wants something (an application) to monitor it, and alert him (via phone,
email, etc) if it's down.  Not someone just looking at WRKACTJOB.

As far as learning, both tools mentioned would take minutes to set up if
that.  GETURI is as easy as saying:

GETURI URI(www.bvstools.com) OUTOUT(*FILE) FILE(TEST)

MONMSG after the command for no reponse, and if there is, simply check the
data in file TEST for an HTTP repsonse.
