I'm running a squid proxy server and I need a script or tool which can ping a website through the proxy to see if the proxy is running right. When the ping fails it should send an email to a specific address. I wrote already one but it only can ping ips and DNS. I already tried web-o-ping but it won't run on my redhat box.
