But there are a couple of problems in the above command line: 1) You didn't specify anything that should be checked, so nothing was :). The checklink syntax is "checklink <options> <uris>", I guess adding http://www.kudos-idd-com/ to the end of the above will do what you want. 2) "-h" is listed twice, "-D -1" is redundant (implied by -r) and "-l www.kudos-idd.com" may produce unexpected results. "-l http://www.kudos-idd.com/" would be correct, but it's the default anyway if you're checking http://www.kudos-idd.com/ Maybe you're looking for this: ./checklink.pl -h -r http://www.kudos-idd.com/ HTH, -- \/ille Skyttä ville.skytta at iki.fi
