SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

12       genhash  is  a  tool  used  for  generating md5sum hashes of remote web
13       pages.  genhash can use HTTP or HTTPS to connect to the web page.   The
14       output  by  this  utility  includes the HTTP header, page data, and the
15       md5sum  of  the  data.   This  md5sum  can  then  be  used  within  the
16       keepalived(8) program, for monitoring HTTP and HTTPS services.
