Linux Website Testing Tool

Question

I am looking for a tool to test a website from a Linux command line.

From the output, I need to know the response of website that user is able to login with username and password.It will help me to find out that user is logging in or not so that I will generate an email by taking output from this.

Thank you in advance.

I'm not sure if I understand it correctly - do you need to test page or to detect when some user has login issue?

For testing, you can use curl and script it with your testing scenario. Something like:

1. Load index page
2. Send POST data to login and store cookies
3. Load protected page
4. Send logout request

Another option is use some monitoring tool with web checks, like zabbix (www.zabbix.com) and set testing scenario in this tool.

If you need to detect when user has problem, just parse logfiles of webserver.
