Shell script to monitor url status | Linux

While working on production system we came to know that we need to monitor the status of soa-infra url to make sure the application is up and running.

We had many soa-infra applications so it was very hectic to check and monitor all of them one by one. So we finally created a simple shell script which checks all the soa-infra urls listed in MANAGED_SERVER_URLS and tries to connect 3times if it fails it will send a mail to the id specified in the script.
It basically logsin to the soa-infra url for a status 200 code, if the status code comes clean i.e 200 it will ignore/pass it and if status comes something else then it will asume the application is down with some issues and it will send a mail to the admin with the url which failed to access.

For better usage we added this script to cronjob and ran it each 2hrs to check the status and report.
