The only way you'll know what happened is by looking at the resulting downloaded files. Your best option is to not log out of the system at the end of the day. Second best is to use tmux. nohup is somewhere around 6 or 7. To answer your original question, you would use nohup when invoking the script. If you're happy with this option even with all the limitations it brings, by all means, go for it. -wes _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
