Big Brother allows you to keep an eye on your World Wide Web links. It is essential for HTML authors who wish to make sure that the links contained in their pages are up-to-date, a chore which quickly gets out of hand without an automated tool! It is also useful to those who maintain a large list of bookmarks - just drop your bookmarks file onto it.
Big Brother checks remote and local links. Whenever it detects that a remote link actually points to a local file, the link is checked directly, thus saving a connection. It can be set to check local links only, so you can verify the internal structure of your site without firing up your modem.
Results are displayed on screen for browsing. Each link can easily be opened using your preferred browser or displayed using a text editor. It is possible to save the results as an HTML file. Finally, Big Brother is scriptable, which lets you easily automate checks.
