# NETWORK PING
This bash script allows users to check the availability of a website or server by providing its URL.
In case of unavailability, the script sends an email notification to alert the user.
The script has been written to be easily configured into a cron job for automated periodic checks.
### Features:
> Simple user interface for entering website/server URL.
> Checks the availability of the specified URL using standard Linux networking utilities.
> Sends customizable email notifications when the webite/server is down.
> Option to set up for a cron job, if required.
> Lightweight & dependency-free.
### Usage:
1. Clone the repo to your system.
2. chmod +x netping.sh
3. ./netping.sh
