Use curl, something like this:
CODE

curl http://thesite.com/thefile.php


Read more about how to use it on the curl manpage.

You could ping the site to check whether it is up or not.

I'm not really sure about the rest of what you said. Please use punctuation when you post, it makes it much easier for others to understand what you are saying. smile.gif

Granted, as long as the site isn't blocking ping requests.

Curl, wget, fetch, lynx, anything text related that has some sort of interaction with the site.
