Tipping

Tipping is a ping script to check website and send email alert

Sample Ping

Why This

No-frills way to host your own website or webservice monitoring (obviously if your entire server is down including mail and network this will not work; but you can buddy up with a friend and monitor each other's websites)

Originally developed pro bono for monitoring a social mission website with over 1 million monthly pageviews

Set Up

  • Update pinger.php with your email alert settings and server path
  • Update mailer.php with your signature and catch-all email etc
  • If not using PHPMailer, set to option 2 (php mail) in mailer.php

To Use

Run the job on its own or from a scheduler, for example the crontab entry below checks every 15 minutes

0,15,30,45 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /full_path_on_your_server/pinger.php http://tebel.org "open-source software" >> /full_path_on_your_server/pinger.log

Support triggering from URL through a web browser or webservice API (first enable that option in pinger.php)

your_website_url/pinger.php?URL=http://tebel.org&CHECK=open-source software
