Obviously, not the whole script:

for i in `seq -w 1 999`; do wget -t 0

thanks,

It is not properly a script, it is just a looped concat of commands. as far as i know the correct expressione for bash should be:

for i in `command` ; do command [passing $i as an argument] ; done

yeah. The rest of it contains an html address and then the done statement.

Isn't a looped concat of commands put into a file a script? I'm not trying to start a semantic argument or anything, just curious if there's a difference. I'm new to the whole *nix scripting world and am anxiously awaiting the next installment of the unix tutorial over at osxfaq.com.

Look familiar kman???

Busted!





FWIW you should be able to do what you want using curl at the comand line. 'man curl' and look for sequences e.g [001-999]
