Script I ran to notify me when the IPRA portal, http://portal.iprachicago.org came out from behind basic auth on Friday, June 3, 2016

check_site.sh

#!/bin/bash

while true; do
        wget http://portal.iprachicago.org/ 2>/dev/null

        if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
          echo "Portal is not live"        
        else  
          osascript -e 'display notification "Live!"'       
          break      
        fi  
        sleep 5
done
