Hi Lionel, this seems to be an nohup / ssh issue.
It looks like wget (or better: your script) receives another signal than SIGHUP. It might be SIGPIPE, which is typical when you try to write to a stream that has been closed or has no reader any more. This may be the reason why it works with -q: the closed stream isn't detected and no SIGPIPE is generated.
Hm, just seeing that SIGPIPE is ignored by wget... so looks like my guess was wrong. Without further working into, I can't exactly say.

Hi all ! It might be a bug in wget (or me not being a pro with messages ...).I wrote a simple bash program performing some periodic wget request and
some sleeps between each request called prequest.sh
I do execute this program through ssh and I would like this program to run even if ssh connexion is lost. I did use in ssh : nohup ./prerequest >/dev/null 2>&1 & Now here is my “bug” If I use wget with -q option, it runs fine and keeps running even if disconnected I I use directly wget without -q, it runs fine but wget are not performed if i’m disconnected. Prequest seems to run as the sleeps are done. I honnestly see no links between the -q option (no output) and the ssh disconnection effects and I’m very interested in understanding the issue or let you know that there might be a bug in wget. Thansks all and have a great day. Lionel Deschamps
