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
