I suspect your problem with the monitor always being up is that you are running this on a v11 platform, but your shell script is referencing the bigpipe command. This script would need a few modifications to work in v11+
As for sub-second timeout resolution, you can't do that with the command-line version of curl, but libcurl does support it. To use libcurl, you would need to write your external monitor in another scripting language such as perl. You can then use the CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS option.
