isAlive is a simple http monitoring cli application that sends an email if the specified endpoint returns a non okay status code.
Configuration files are stored in /home/$USER/.cache/isalive. Everything is stored in JSON for easy manipulation.

A command-line monitoring application.

To run this command via cron job for more consistent monitoring and notifications, I suggest the following.
go install && go build && cp isAlive /usr/local/bin/isalive && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/isalive
crontab -e
0 * * * * /usr/local/bin/isalive scan true //run job every hour
