A recent gnarly bit of Bash I built up over a few minutes until it did what I needed. I was specifically looking to see which, if any, jobs posted to our job board weren't working, since someone reported that they'd clicked a link and it took them to a broken page, but neglected to tell me which posting it was.

# oneliner
for link in $(curl https://dribbble.com/jobs.rss | grep link | cut -d'>' -f2 | cut -d'<' -f1); do echo $link; curl -I --location $link | grep -E '(Location|HTTP)' | cut -d' ' -f2; echo "--------------------"; done

# expanded
for link in $(curl https://dribbble.com/jobs.rss | grep link | cut -d'>' -f2 | cut -d'<' -f1); # cut the URL out of "<link>http://example.com</link>" from our jobs RSS feed
  do echo $link # print it
  curl -I --location $link | grep -E '(Location|HTTP)' | cut -d' ' -f2 # get the URL, follow any redirects, and print out each redirect and the ending HTTP status code
  echo "--------------------"
done
