Using wget to run a script -- how to avoid re-tries
Hi, I am using wget on Windows to run a Python script via a URL. My problem is that the script takes up to 3 hours to execute and wget will hit the URL multiple times as it has not had a response within an adequate timeframe. This 'breaks' things... Which flag should I use on the wget call to stop hitting the URL multiple times? I am thinking -T 0, but the warning on the site made me think twice about this... (Please do not lower the default timeout value with this option unless you know what you are doing ) If you could include an example in any response, that would be great... Pls copy me on any responses as I am not subscribed to this list. Thx, Simon Williams Client Technology Barclays Global Investors [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

-O --spider
You can view the map at: http://home.sara.nl/~bram/debchart.jpeg WARNING: this image is ENORMOUS. OK, so I will use wget -O --spider -Y off http://home.sara.nl/~bram/debchart.jpeg to see how big before biting with my modem, I thought. But I mistyped -O for -S and ended up getting the whole file anyway. So next time I wish wget would see this as missing arguments. We can write ./--spider if that is where we really want to put the output.
