I guess this might not be really a wget question, more a general scripting question ?
thanks for any pointers I'm trying to use wget to 'backup' a remote win server to my host as follows; GNU Wget 1.12 # backup bal win server ... cd /home/bal/ftpbackup/$date1 wget -r ftp://ftp.bal.tld --ftp-user=bal --ftp-password=balpw that works fine, but, generates lengthy log including 'progress output' what;s the best way to reduce the log verbosity to minimum, I guess, I mainly want the final message: ---------- FINISHED --2012-11-18 03:32:43-- Downloaded: 1724 files, 178M in 33s (5.43 MB/s) ---------- not really needed is: ---------- Length: 336067 (328K) 0K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 15% 1.64M 0s 50K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 30% 15.2M 0s 100K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 45% 24.5M 0s 150K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 60% 19.7M 0s 200K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 76% 25.8M 0s 250K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 91% 19.6M 0s 300K .......... .......... ........ 100% 19.8M=0.04s 2012-11-18 03:30:08 (7.42 MB/s) - ----- -- Voytek
