Web Checker for AISS and GSMS

A quick hack for checking AISS and GSMS using python language. This can be used both in Windows or GNULinux as long as python is installed.

This is the complete code.

import sys, time, threading
import os
import platform
import requests as req

#Filename: webstat.py
###############################
# Our spinner function, not necessarily
# required but for classiness-sake only
def spin_cursor():
    while True:
        for cursor in '|/-\\':
            sys.stdout.write(cursor)
            sys.stdout.flush()
            time.sleep(0.1)
            sys.stdout.write('\b')
            if done:
                return

# start the spinner in a separate thread
done = False
spin_thread = threading.Thread(target=spin_cursor)


# do some more work in the main thread
#####best to display a clean output depending
#####on what type of OS this script is running.
#####Linux and Windows only. Apologies to
#####Mac users.   :-)

ourOS = platform.system()

if ourOS == "Linux":
	
	os.system('clear')
	
else:
	os.system('cls')
	
	
print(" \n")


#####querying of GSMS web server starts here
print("-------------------- GSMS ------------------------\n")

spin_thread.start()
####Use catch definition in python to trap any unexpected errors.
####Prevents display of full stack trace back using the generic 
####standard Exception class. Python 2 and Python 3 have
####different error hierarchy, so We are using this class
####so that it will work in both Python versions.

	done = True
	spin_thread.join()
	print("Error while re-directing to  AISS web server.")
	print("This could be an illegal entry in DNS list.\n")



print("all done.\n")

This can be executed in a command line,

$ python3 webstat.py

or

$ python2 webstat.py
