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

Seems to me if you're already on the iSeries, you could just use WRKACTJOB
SBS(QHTTPSVR) to see if it's up or not.

Be a lot easier than downloading, installing and learning a new piece of
software.

I was gong to suggest the same thing. Scott's HTTP API or my GETURI
(www.bvstools.com/geturi.html) utility will easily do a check on a website.

Easiest way is to try to connect to the port (usually 80 for HTTP
traffic).

Our iSeries is hosting a website (apache).



I would like to know when the website is down.



What would be the best way to handle this?
