A simple command line tool thats pings a URL in a fixed interval
This is the result of a fun nightly live coding session at our LsW Telegram channel. We hope that you have just as much fun and that you find it useful as we do.
- Python 3.5+
- curl (version >= 7.29.0)
- argcomplete (optional) -
pip install argcomplete
- Download the latest release
- Make the binary executable:
chmod +x http-ping - Have fun :)
To make the usage more comfortable, you can create an alias in your .bashrc:
alias http-ping="/yourLocalPath/http-ping"
Or even install it systemwide in one of the bin folders (e.g. /usr/local/bin/http-ping)
Just type http-ping https://www.example.com
Press ctrl+c to stop the process.
At the end you'll see some statistics as it also provides the ping program.
