You can do the same thing with wget: --spider When invoked with this option, Wget will behave as a Web spider, which means that it will not download the pages, just check that they are there. You can use it to check your bookmarks, e.g. with: wget --spider --force-html -i bookmarks.html This feature needs much more work for Wget to get close to the functionality of real WWW spiders. You'll be checking more than bookmarks but you get the idea. Jesse

They are all in Debian (mostly unstable I think) maybe there is a way to bring them all together and cut down development time? http://www.fwbuilder.org/index.html http://rcf.mvlan.net/ firewall-easy (deb package, has a doc pkg in spanish) ferm (deb package) Including the gibraltar link posted previously.

Debian firewall/router distro?
I'm a newbie administrator at a small publishing company. I have been consistently trying to get my boss to migrate a yellowdog linux server to debian-ppc. After a recent 3 hour outage (ouch) my boss couldn't do anything to get the machine up (I'm a part time worker, not on call). Anyway, he wanted to buy a Cobalt but I recommended we install a smoothwall machine instead. I'm confident I can get the smoothwall machine up and running but what I really want is a debian based distro for easy upgrades and maintenance. Whatever I install I have to be able to convince him that he can semi-administer it if I'm not there. Is there a debian-firewall/router distro similar in function to smoothwall? All the server needs to do is act as a firewall/router for the internal lan and the webserver. It won't be offering any other services. TIA, Jesse

I'm not a sysadmin so take this for what it's worth. Here's what I do for my
home lan to mirror the debian-kde archive for potato, hack as necessary (this
is i386 specific).
#!/bin/bash
#/usr/bin/mirror_kde2
# declare variables
kde_mirror_root="/mirror/kde2/dists/potato/"
connection_up=`ifconfig | grep ppp0`
# function to do rsync stuff
