No responses, so maybe a little more information would help. I started out writing a Nagios plugin script that did wget's of our website, and grep'ing the html for expected results. By keeping track of cookies, I was able to log in, query some of my account details, etc. Both wget and grep return suitable error codes, so the plugin can return a 0(OK), 1(Warning), or 2(Critical), along with some explanatory text, to Nagios, and the process works well.
But as our website functional monitoring needs got more involved, I looked for a better tool, and was pointed to JMeter. JMeter is certainly better at developing the test using a web proxy, vs writing the wget calls by hand. But I don't seem to be able to get an error return code when running the test on the command line, even though I can see the Assertion Test fail when run in the GUI. I suppose I could save the XML result from the JMeter run and grep it for results. I've been told that JMeter, JUnit, etc are all meant to work with Maven and will be equally disappointing for me. Is JMeter the wrong tool for what I need? Any pointers to a better approach. Can I somehow exit the JMeter test with an error code when an Assertion Test fails (hope, hope).
