{ wget -d xxx 2>&1 1>&3 | grep -v Saving 1>&2; } 3>&1This changes the exit value, so that's no good. Sure, with even more complexity the exit status could be preserved too, but IMHO wrapping wget in layers of shell mechanisms to work around a warning is crazy. Giuseppe - please just do the right thing and provide a way to shut off the warning. Especially since it's simple to do. -k
