optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -V, --version         show program's version number and exit
  -c N, --threads N     Sets the number of Processes to be used to N [default
                        10]
  -f sc, --script sc    Set the used phantomJS-script to sc [default

  -b bin, --binary bin  Set the used phantomJS-binary to bin [default

Bugs

At the time of the last run, there were some bugs in PhantomJS leading to errors not being caught by the provided error handlers and instead being written to the output file. Manual checking of the results is recommended.

Also, the program had the tendency to deadlock after a while. It is unknown why this happened, but you should occasionally check if the program is still doing work.
