from the wget manpage:
-O file
--output-document=file
The documents will not be written to the appropriate files, but
all
will be concatenated together and written to file. If - is used
as
file, documents will be printed to standard output, disabling
link
conversion. (Use ./- to print to a file literally named -.)
Use of -O is not intended to mean simply "use the name file
instead
of the one in the URL;" rather, it is analogous to shell
redirect-
ion: wget -O file http://foo is intended to work like wget -O -
http://foo > file; file will be truncated immediately, and
all....
And, of course, you could start the script with "cd /tmp" and change those
"/root" and "/root/bin" directories to match. Any reason this must be a root
job?
