How about this as a Debian package:

http://wummel.github.io/linkchecker/


It's in the Squeeze and Wheezy official repositories.

http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=linkchecker

My suggestion would be to install the package and have a cron job run a
scheduled check at an appropriate interval with output going to a dated
file -- such file could then be checked with a diff tool and the
differences highlighted to be looked at.


/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/linkchecker -v https://tails.boum.org/


I'm running that now and am seeing some 404 results with loads of
expected and normal "200 OK" -- there are other return codes as well,
including timeouts.

301 redirects are also highlighted, those could optionally be adjusted
to not need the redirect.

The output might be overkill, so perhaps drop the -v (verbose) option.

Cheers
