wget: Stop It from background downloading?

wget: Stop It from background downloading?

Post by o.. » Wed, 01 Nov 2000 12:37:52



wget appears to be downloading in the background by default, does
anybody know how to rectify that behavior.

I have a script that goes something like:

           wget -O file.html http://someplace.com/somepage.html
           grep some-text file.html

The problem is file.html continues growing even after the script is
completed. This also has the side effect that I get "...." messing up my
screen when I thought wget was all done with, and there it is running in
the background without my permission. I need wget to wait until all of
file.html is downloaded before letting the script continue.

Thanks,
