Instead of the -O in the last line, I've also tried > and >> with no better

Good evening, Steve.

Off the top of my head I don't know the wget switches such as -O ... however, in GENERAL terms, if you have a program that sends messages to stdout and also sends error messages to stderr, you have to say something like...

foo > /dev/null 2> /dev/null

The first "> /dev/null" gets rid of regular messages, and the "2> /dev/null" dumps error messages.

Hope this helps...
