Check URL --> Simply?

[Julius Welby]

This is probably redundant after that last post, (and doesn't meet the
requirement "simply") but some time ago I wrote a script that checks a list
of URLs for availability and sends an alert e-mail if one or more fails.

Just in case it is useful I've dragged it out of storage and posted it here:

There is some documentation in the script. I'll add some better notes on my
site as some point.
