What parameters are you calling it with, and what is the content of the script file?

It seems like the status information message is right after all. The status is also green. Works perfect thanks

Hello,

I have a question about the check_website check. You can give multiple strings that the script should not expect on the site that it fetches but is it also possible that you give multiple strings that it should expect, and that if any of these strings is found it assumes all is OK and continues the script.
something like this:

notexpect ( "Invalid username or password" "An error has occurred" "You must have cookies enabled" )
expect ("everything OK" "most is OK" "everything is fine" "don't worry" )

thanks

You can give multiple strings to the expect() keyword, as with the notexpect() keyword; however in both cases the checks are ANDed.

IE, with expect("a" "b") it must contain BOTH "a" AND "b", and with notexpect( "a" "b" ) it must contain NEITHER "a" NOR "b".

It would probably be better for the expect() keyword to OR the options (IE, check for ANY of the matches) but that would mean a major change to syntax...

... since the match expressions are, of course, regexps. I should have thought of this way to achieve it!

The 'm' prefix change in the code shouldn't be necessary as match is the default behaviour.
