Among other things, it downloads any urls it finds in a file called /var/wget/files. Works well enough for my purposes. # wget files if any if [ -e /var/wget/files ] && [ -e /tmp/nightly ]; then echo " `/bin/date`" echo "retrieving /var/wget files" /usr/bin/wget -c -i /var/wget/files -o /var/wget/log -P /var/wget fi -- Bud Rogers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> KD5SZ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
