Measuring response time from a URL
in [Shell]
|
From: Zinger on 2 Apr 2008 10:24 Hi All, I want to execute a shell script which returns the response time from a URL (using wget(?)). Can this be done through a shell script and how? The OS in linux. Thanks in advance, ZM

"time" may be all you need: $ time curl http://www.gnu.org/index.html >/dev/null 2>&1 real 0m0.304s user 0m0.030s sys 0m0.077s Depends what you're really looking for... Regards, Ed.

Don't know what you mean by "response time", however try this: $ time wget your://url.here -- All the commands are tested with bash and GNU tools, so they may use nonstandard features. I try to mention when something is nonstandard (if I'm aware of that), but I may miss something. Corrections are welcome.

As I mentioned, I am interested in how quickly the page I am trying to get opens up. So would "time" get me the response time from the URL? e.g. how long did the cnn.com page took to say open up (just as in it would have opened through a browser) in the example below? If yes then what is the value of response time? Is it 0.411seconds? ================== time wget cnn.com --12:07:27-- http://cnn.com/ => `index.html' Resolving cnn.com... 64.236.16.20, 64.236.16.52, 64.236.24.12, ...
