Zero is the success code, which is the default, so anything which does not set 1 or 2 should leave 0. > 0: -I have never seen this one - What do you see when everything goes right?

Re: Return Value 2
Steven, thanks for the info! Just from frequent usage of wget (and not from examining the code) I have come to think of the exit values like this: 0: -I have never seen this one - 1: communication failures 2: option/syntax related problems Can you glean from the code what would cause an exit value 0?

I know of none. Skimming the "exit" search results suggests that your choices may be limited to 0, 1, and 2. (From which one might deduce that the designer was not a fan of AIX or VMS, where error messages and/or exit status values tend to be more informative.) -- -- Steven M.
