-Welcome to your new gem! In this directory, you'll find the files you need to be able to package up your Ruby library into a gem. Put your Ruby code in the file `lib/url_status`. To experiment with that code, run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt.
+`url-status` is a gem to check the http status of a list of urls.
-TODO: Delete this and the text above, and describe your gem
+![check a list of urls](./url-status.png)
-## Installation
+The urls can be provided as command line options, or they can come from a config file.
-Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
+ # list of urls to check simply given as command line options
+ # if no protocol is given, http is assumed
+ url-status google.com https://facebook.com
-```ruby
-gem 'url_status'
-```
+ # pull the urls from the config file instead
+ url-status --config ./site-list.yaml
-And then execute:
+The YAML file should be a simple array of the urls to check:
- $ bundle
+ ---
+ - ssrs.reednj.com
+ - paint.reednj.com
+ - popacular.com/home
+ - gigatweeter.com
-Or install it yourself as:
+If any of the urls fail, then the gem will return a status code of 1, allowing other action to be taken.
