Hi all,
I'm looking for a good automated link checker and was hoping that the
Refresh list might have some opinions. I'd want something with the
following features:
Must haves:
- Runs on *nix systems
- Can be run as a cron job
- Outputs reports as HTML
- Follows 301 and 303 re-writes
- Configurable to show external links and internal links separately
Nice-to-haves:
- Email alerts
- Ability to send data output to a monitoring tool like Zenoss via REST or
XML-RPC
- Written in Python or Ruby
Webcheck is what I'm using now (http://arthurdejong.org/webcheck/) it meets
several of these requirements but seems to have some issues with false
positives and configuration, so I'd like to look at some other options.
What have other people tried/used?
thanks for any input,
-TR
