Rather than just redirecting all output to /dev/null , it's worth checking if the commands you're using have a "quiet" option. As previous posters have already pointed out, wget's -q option is one. Also, look in to using the mktemp command to create temporary filenames. -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
