limiting wget's download volume
 
Hi all,

Is this possible? I've checked the man page but bizarrely it seems the 'quota' option isn't observed when one downloads a page off the net!
I'm trying to automatically monitor a site minute-by-minute for when its home page is updated and therefore only need to download the <head> section which contains a date/time stamp. This is only a couple of k as against several hundred for the whole page. Any suggestions?

thanks, cc.

Hi,

For this purpose try out some URL content monitor (try out zabbix ,http://www.zabbix.com/)

Code:
#yum install zabbix*
should help you,

Thanks,

Thank you for the suggestion, Nick. I shall duly check it out. In no joy,then I guess the best alernative is to hack the wget source and add the feature myself.
