I'm looking to open a URL and then dump any and all output including errors to /dev/null

What I was planning to do was run lynx ***.***.***.***/page.html >/dev/null 2> /dev/null

However I find this gives a segmentation fault.
I dont want to run it and place it in the background either as it will still remain at that page and obviously lynx will remains running. Perhaps if there is a way of killing the instance of lynx after it has performed the above task, from within my script ofcourse???

Any suggestions?

Basically, this is to reboot my router from my server, I do a few checks, if I can't ping the outside world, then I run this to reboot it.

Thanks in advance...

Why not something like this?

This works, for some reason I thought I would have to use lynx as wget would only retrieve the file and I wished it to be executed, however it now works a treat.

My system now recovers from a loss in internet connectivity without any intervention from me...

Glad I could help
