I am enthusiast of the uWSGI project, but you are not limited to it as you can use fcgiwrap a very lightweight and simple FastCGI wrapper for CGI scripts that does not require additional configuration.
Keep track of network latency using SmokePing, uWSGI application server and nginx HTTP server. SmokePing supports many configurable probes, alerting and live charts accessible through a web browser. It was created by Tobi Oetiker, which is known for RRDtool an Open Source data logging and graphing system for time series data.
I am using curl to verify redirects and display real destination URL and you should try it too.
Install and configure private instance of the MoinMoin wiki engine, which is a full-featured and extensible wiki software written in Python that can be used to store personal notes, knowledge base or to simply share interests, goals or projects.
Use curl utility to verify HTTP response code for given URL.
Sometimes it is important to monitor log file modification time to restart the writing process when the file was not modified for defined period of time. I have already described how to check file metadata using stat utility which can be used to solve this task, but today I want to take advantage of the plain ls command.
It is rarely mentioned, but you can use repository snapshots to download and install old and obsolete packages on already unsupported or even current Debian distributions.
