webcheck is a website checking tool for webmasters. It crawls a given website and generates a number of reports. The whole system is pluggable allowing easily adding extra reports and checks.

Features of webcheck include:

• support for http, https, ftp and file schemes
• view the structure of a site
• track down broken links
• find potentially outdated and new pages
• list links pointing to external sites
• can run without user intervention

webcheck is still in development. I'm working towards a 2.0 release with most of the changes as described on the TODO list. This probably means that the formatting of the output will change.
