ColdFusion Downtime Check Script

[webdivx]

I need some help with creating a simple, but automatic site status (uptime/downtime) monitor script in ColdFusion.

Basically I would like the script to check if an application on my site (https://www.mysite.com/application) is accessible or not every 60 minutes. If the application is down at 60 minutes, then I am sent an e-mail to email@mysite.com.

If the application is working, then the script will check again in 60 minute to see if the application is up or not. And this cycle continues indefinitely without me having to have the page open.

Can anybody please help me with this? I am using ColdFusion 7.

Thank you
Mike

Here is a basic script that you can use to monitor the uptime of your application. You will need to update the variables at the top with the appropriate values for your site. <cfset websiteURL = "https://www.mysite.com/application"><cfset checkInterval = 60><cfset emailAddress = "email@mysite.com"><cffunction name="checkUptime" returnType="void" output="false"> <cfhttp url="#websiteURL#" method="get" result="result"></cfhttp> <cfif result.statusCode NEQ 200> <cfmail to="#emailAddress#" from="#emailAddress#" subject="Website Down" type="html"> <p>The website <a href="#websiteURL#">#websiteURL#</a> is down.</p> </cfmail> </cfif></cffunction><cfsavecontent variable="taskString"> <cfexecute name="C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe" arguments="/create /sc minute /mo #checkInterval# /tn UptimeChecker /tr ""c:\coldfusion8\runtime\bin\cfcheckuptime.cfm"" /ru system" /></cfsavecontent><cfexecute name="cmd.exe" arguments="/c #taskString#" timeout="20" /><cffile action="write" file="c:\coldfusion8\runtime\bin\cfcheckuptime.cfm" output="#checkUptime#" />
