Thanks for the input so far.

another possible solution come to my (ruby-beginner) mind instead of writin=
g
the status-code to a seperate file and parse it:

some kind of deamon-process:
what about to put something like 'sleep 300' in the script to make an
indefinetly loop.
so it's easier to store the exit-code of the http-requests and compare them=
.

with this it would be possible to send 5 error-emails (25 min) and after
that, send another email when the url 'recovers'.

What are your opinions for that solution?

Torsten
