Checking website status with Powershell
After few days searching about applications to help me on check is a site is up or not, I finally create my own solution to accomplish this, I wrote a small powershell script to do that.
With few lines of code I would create very quickly a script that just perform a http request and check the return code, if the return is 200, then website is ok, if not, a message will be displayed to the user.
The entire code can be found in below:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 | function Show-MessageBox ($title, $msg) { [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms") | Out-Null [Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show($msg, $title, [Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons]::OK, [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon]::Warning, [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxDefaultButton]::Button1, [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxOptions]::DefaultDesktopOnly) | Out-Null } [string] $url = 'http://www.saidosofa.com.br' [net.httpWebRequest] $req = [net.webRequest]::create($url) $req.Method = "HEAD" [net.httpWebResponse] $res = $req.getResponse() if ($res.StatusCode -ge "200") { write-host "`nSite up`n" ` -foregroundcolor green } else { Show-MessageBox -title "Warning!" -msg "Site down!!!" write-host "`nSite down`n" ` -foregroundcolor red } |

Can a port number be added to the URL? For example:
[string] $url = ‘http://www.anywebsite.com:8080′
