Anyone have any method to monitor the Status of a Salesforce instance? Specifically using this webpage. http://trust.salesforce.com/trust/status

I attempted to use Xymon content monitoring to check some specific lines of code in the page, but there were too many spaces and special characters in the section I need to reference and I couldn't get it to work right. I tried many different ways to enter the code in hosts.cfg, but all content checks seem to get cut off at the first > and not use the entire string that I'm entering. Here's the details.
--------------------------------------
Original section of code from html page I want to monitor.

How it looks in Xymon hosts.cfg

cont;http://trust.salesforce.com/trust/status;Subscribe[[:space:]]to[[:space:]]NA23\"[[:space:]]src=\"/images/rss.png\"> --------------------------------

Thank you.

Try using "." instead of "<" and ">".  It's not a precise match, but it's
extremely unlikely to yield false-positives.

Or maybe something really simple like:

NA23.*dotGreen.*NA24
