cron+wget = multiple downloads
Hi
I have a problem with very simple combination of wget+cron on my ubuntu server. I created file execute.cron as normal user execute.cron : 16 * * * * wget -t 0 www.page.com > output.log next i run : crontab execute.cron Task was invoked properly but i as i result is should get one index.html page. When i run this from command line that is the case. Using cron i get index.html index.html.1 index.html.2 and so on What can be a reason that cron + wget run multiple downloads ? Best regards Slawek |
use the -O (capital 'O') option to force output file to retain a static file name. wget will append a .1, .2, .3, etc to index.html if that file exists locally already -- this is normal behavior and you would have found that behavior at the command line also. prove it to yourself by running the command multiple times at the command line.
also why not use -o output.log instead of redirecting stdout to output.log? so just to be clear, the command would look like wget -t0 -O index.html -o output.log http://www.page.com |
