[PLUG] command line check for streaming content

Hi All,

I would like to be able to use a cron type job to verify the
availability of a list of video content, sort of like a ping test for a
list of url's.

I've searched the web, and looked long and hard at the lynx man page,
but I'm not sure where to begin.  I guess that I just need a tool that
will give a "yes" or "no" depending on whether or not it could find the
file on a streaming server.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Derek Loree
