What to use for checking html links in a large project, on Linux?

I have a directory with files of size 1000.html and would like to check them all for bad links - preferably using the console. Any tool you can recommend for such a task?

You can extract links from html files using the Lynx text browser. Bash scripts around this should not be difficult.

Try webgrep command line tools or, if you're comfortable with Perl, HTML :: TagReader from the same author.
