I haven't yet looked at GPL link checkers for Linux so it would be nice to hear some experiences.
While I haven't used it for a while, I've been quite pleased with the Python based Linbot which does link checking, site mapping, and number of other useful things. I've also noticed a number of link checkers on freshmeat lately. -- J C Lawrence Home: claw@kanga.nu ----------(*) Other: coder@kanga.nu --=| A man is as sane as he is dangerous to his environment |=--
I tried Linbot 1.0 and generally think it's great. The problem I had with it was that it would ONLY check remote sites but not my zope test machine http://localhost for whatever reason. Only the root url was displayed in the report. I tried pylice which is also written in python but it also refused to scan my localhost. Then I tried to scan from an external machine - same thing! The same content server as static pages from apache: works. Could that be a zope issue? Ragnar

I too have had this problem. And it also happens with some of the other (perl based) link checkers. In fact, the only link checker I've found so far that doesn't have this problem is the 'webchecker' sample program that comes with Python. I'm currently digging through all the link checkers on Freshmeat to see if I can find a more full featured one that will work. I'll let you know if I find anything. --- John Eikenberry [jae@kavi.com - http://zhar.net/] ______________________________________________________________ "A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will deserve neither and lose both." --B.
