Hello
i want to write a shell script that will run when i log in to my account (everytime) and start downloading from a site using wget. i'm new to linux and so please tell me if it is possible and if possible how to write it.
please note that i do not have root password.
please help me

$HOME/.bash_profile is run every time you login provided you use bash as your shell (chances are you do). You can simply put the wget command in that file and it'll be run every login.

i tried that. i use httrack to download. but the problem is whenever i log in after rebooting, the system doesn't start (after giving the login name and password), thatis i cannot login in my account. but if i login using the ctrl+alt+f1 keys everything works fine.

i changed the file like this:

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

export PATH
unset USERNAME

export PATH=$PATH:/tmp/mybin/htt/bin
httrack http://www.yahoo.com -o /tmp/myfolder proxyuserroxypass@proxyort


-----------------------------

is there any error in the code?

httrack is install in /tmp/mybin/htt

please don't mind the smilies, colon with p happened to changed to that.

here is my observations:
whenever i write
httrack http://www.yahoo.com -o /tmp/myfolder proxyuser:Proxypass@proxy:Port -i

i can not login. here -i is optional parameter of httrack (for continuing interrepted downloads)

but if i write without the -i option like

httrack http://www.yahoo.com -o /tmp/myfolder proxyuser:Proxypass@proxy:Port

everything goes fine. but i need the -i option. what should i do now?
