grep on lynx command

I want to grep the result on lynx command

lynx -head -dump http://abdsadsac.org

Result for that command

Looking up 111.111.111.111:9004
Making HTTP connection to 111.111.111.111:9004
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.

lynx: Can't access startfile http://abdsadsac.org

I want that word replace to be 0 or down, I try to create bash script, but that command still shown. Result that i want is.

#lynx -head -dump http://abdsadsac.org
Down

Already try to use if else on the bash but still doesn't work.

Solution

  • How about using the exit code to determine if the site is up?

    For example:

    $ lynx -head -dump http://abdsadsac.org 2> /dev/null || echo Down
Down
