Hi, I'm regularly using wget without any problem for wide spread of web tasks.
Now I got a problem using wget (Ver. 1.12 - compiled from source) on a "embedded" Linux device (running kernel 2.6.28 and busybox). The following shell script works fine if called from the console. It "doesn't work" if it's started from the background (crond) or with redirected Output to /dev/null. "It doesn't work" means that there is a empty Variable logged to syslog (by the command logger) #!/bin/sh wget -q -o /home/maus/wget.log -O /home/maus/wget.result http://maus.blabla.ch/myip.php IP=`cat /home/maus/wget.result` logger $IP rm /home/maus/wget.result I'm confused completely from the fact, that the same script works fine on my Linux (Mint [Ubuntu]) computer but not on the embedded device. Any suggestions? Thanks. regards maurus
