Hi, please use the wget command as follows: wget -t 1 -T 1 1.1.1.1
or on any other not accessible address. After execution of this command I have the following messages: --08:57:37-- http://1.1.1.1/ => `index.html' Connecting to 1.1.1.1:80... and after a much longer period than 1 second (as set in the above example) the following messages are: --08:57:37-- http://1.1.1.1/ => `index.html' Connecting to 1.1.1.1:80... failed: No route to host. Giving up. Is the option 'T' working or not ? My Linux is RH 7.2 and wget is 1.8.2 Thanks in advance for your answer...
