Perhaps you need an operating system. On VMS, one could create a wget-specific batch queue, set its job limit to one, and submit all the non-compete wget jobs to it. The queue manager would run the submitted jobs one at a time, first-come=first-served, with the terminal output logged to a file (of your choice). If you ask (SUBMIT /NOTIFY), you can get a message broadcast to your terminal(s) when a job ends. http://h71000.www7.hp.com/index.html (Where would you like to put the axle on that new wheel?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.
