The Web server collection provides a program for monitoring Web servers. It periodically checks that a server responds to requests.To use the tool, start the web-server-monitor launcher as follows:
web-server-monitor alert-email host-name [port] [poll-frequency-seconds] [server-response-timeout-seconds]The monitor will send a HTTP HEAD request to the server at host-name on port port (or 80) every poll-frequency-seconds seconds (or 1 hour). If the server does not respond within server-response-timeout-seconds (or 75) seconds then the monitor will email alert-email about the problem. Also, if the Web server responds with an error, the monitor will email the error message to alert-email. For example, the following monitors the Web server for the book ``How to Design Programs''
