WGET Help PLEASE
 

this is what i want to do: use WGET to pull a url of text every 10 minutes and write it to a file. I know how to do this part. what i dont know how to do is get it to continue to write to the file without it overwritting the original file.

example:

the first wget of the url would write this to a text file:

test one
test two

the 2nd wget of the url would add this to the first file

test three
test four
etc..

so after the 2nd wget the file would look like this:
test one
test two
test three
test four
etc..

does anyone here know how to do this?

thanks....

lynx -dump -nolinks "http://theurl" >> filetoappend

0,10,20 * * * * /usr/bin/wget lynx -dump -nolinks "http://theurl" /usr/local/apache2/file_name

is that correct?

yes, if you don't want it to work.

i even bolded the important part.

you thought bold meant ignore?

huh? i dont see a bolded part????

then copy and paste my example, and change only the url and the filename.

ok i see.. but how do i set it up to pull that link every 10 minutes?

bump for help...

Set a cron...

0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /command/to/run

0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * lynx -dump -nolinks "http://theurl" /usr/local/apache2/file_name

is this correct?
