You need:

• bash
• tidy
• wget
• A mail command

So it should be quite portable.

You also need the list of pages to validate. As my web strucure is managed by php, I creted a php page returning this list.

#!/bin/bash
tmpValid=/tmp/autoweb-valid.txt
tmpMail=/tmp/autoweb-mail.txt
##get list of pages
pageList=$(wget http://www.esterel-technologies.com/admin/allUrls.php -O - -q)
i=0
echo "ET Web validation ( $(date) )" >> $tmpMail
for page in $pageList
do
  i=$
  localName="/tmp/am-autoweb-$i.html"
  ##Get the page
  wget -q $page -O $localName >/dev/null
  echo "$i. $page" >>$tmpMail
  tidy -o /dev/null -q -utf8 -f $tmpValid $localName >> $tmpMail
  cat $tmpValid >> $tmpMail
  echo "" >> $tmpMail
  rm -f $localName
  rm -f $tmpValid
done
mail -s "Web Validation" your@email.here < $tmpMail
rm -f $tmpMail

The neat thing is to use wget to retreive page, so:

1. Tidy runs on the generated page, so it also checks the tags generated by php
2. You can run the script from another machine than your web server. Great if you do not have a shell account on it.
