Here ya go!

I tested on my own server.  You might want to change the URL, EMAIL, etc
:)  if you have any questions, let me know.

#!/bin/bash

# This script monitors a web site ($URL) every $WAIT seconds.  If there
is a 
# failure, an e-mail is sent to everyone in the $EMAIL list.
#
# Requires package lynx with SSL support (lynx-2.8.4 works for me), some
# kind of mail client (mail or mailx), and date.
#
# Exit codes:
#       1 - lynx not found
#       2 - no mail found
#       3 - no date found
#
# Caveats - this only tests connectivity.  If the page is missing, the
server 
# returns a 404 and the test passes.
#         - The screen will display lynx' stderr, which is probably not
a bad thing :)
