[Sks-devel] Quick and dirty test

[Kiss Gabor (Bitman)]

Hi folks,

It is funny but one of my peer partners did not notice that his server
is dead since a few months. :-)

So I just show anyone who is interested in it how a simple but effective
cron job warns me if my server is not OK:

42 5-8,15-20 * * *   test "$(curl -s 
https://sks-keyservers.net/status/ks-status-json.php?server=keys.niif.hu | jq 
'[.IPv6, .Port80, .Last_status]' | tee /tmp/sksstatus | md5sum)" = 
'f2a95d496447b4bd81314f4a550a247c  -' || ( echo 'Something went 
wrong:\\nhttps://sks-keyservers.net/status/' ; cat /tmp/sksstatus)

Of course hostname and actual MD5 sum value must be tailored
according to checked fields of JSON output from curl.

Cheers

Gabor
