Linklint, an Open Source Perl program that checks links on web sites, is installed on ms. Here is how you can use it to check the links on your home page:

ssh ms
cd ~/public_html/
umask 022
mkdir .linklint
linklint -doc linklint -http -host \
   www.math.mcmaster.ca /~username/@

You can see the results at http://www.math.mcmaster.ca /~username/.linklint

For full documentation, see the linklint site.
