This little tool has been kicking around on my harddrive for a month or two now, so time to release! I'm pleased to announce the first release of urlcheck, an parallel link checker, written in Haskell. Frustrated with the resources and time consumed by 'linkchecker', when preparing the weekly news, I coded up a lightweight, smp-capable replacement in Haskell. urlcheck pings urls found in the input file, checking they aren't 404s. It uses Haskell threads to run queries concurrently, and can transparently utilise multiple cores if you have them. Usage: $ urlcheck urlcheck.html Found 0 broken links. Checked 10 links (10 unique) in 1 file. Search time: 5 secs Get it from Hackage! http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/urlcheck-0.1 -- Don
