IntroductionWhat Big Brother is notQuick start

Quick start

Big Brother might seem difficult to use at first glance, because it has so many command line options. However, I do not think it is a real problem. The reason is, you should typically use Big Brother to perform a few specific tasks (such as checking your Web site, if you're a webmaster) repeatedly. So, you can take a few minutes to look at Big Brother's options and write a script once and for all.

Several typical situations are described here. Also, you should have at least a cursory glance at the Reference section, so you're aware of what Big Brother can do for you.
