i just tried this out.. i think you might be downloading a BIG file. (or else a simple change in the script could do the job...)
but i think what needs to be done is a simple mv /home/sohel/file /home/sohel/download/file why this works is because all file accesses work on the inodes and NOT on the file name / location. therefore unlike DOS/win, a move can be done even though someone is writing to that file... (infact a "tcpdump -i eth1 > testfile &; mv testfile dir/testfile" just worked for me...) just that if the downloading is being continued some other time (a part download) then you'd need to change the script once the current running program stops...) hope this helps. affly robins On Thu, 2003-09-04 at 17:52, Sohel Shaheen Mallik wrote: > Hi there all, > i am having a problem is there any sol.. say i have a script a > .pl file invoking a wget command to download a series of files , say my > file is located at /home/sohel/download and if the cron is firing it > whatever is downloaded , gets downloaded to /home/sohel .. now is there > a way to get the downloaded files to /home/sohel/download at they are > being downloaded ... _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
