Nope, and that's not really something I'm interested in supporting in Wget; retrying after a "period" is not really within Wget's scope; it'd be better handled by an outside script. My argument is weakened significantly by Wget's poor management of exit statuses; however, if you're not using the -r option, it should give a non-zero exit status, so you can know to retry in another 20 minutes. - -- HTH, Micah J.
