Re: Re: Re: cron/perl interaction gotchas i am missing?

How are you sure that wget as finished and the wget process has terminated? I recommend using the logging options of wget plus adding some logging/syslog output to your Perl script as well - print statements should also be enough, as cronmails those to you.

perl -MHTTP::Daemon -MHTTP::Response -MLWP::Simple -e ' ;    # The

($c = $d->accept())->get_request(); $c->send_response( new   #in the
HTTP::Response(200,$_,$_,qq(Just another Perl hacker\n))); ' #  web

How are you sure that wget as finished and the wget process has terminated? because the first file (from store 1) is exactly where it's supposed to be. i do use basic logging in my script (see above), but after the first wget, i don't get anything.... (and running the script manually works splendid, so i think i didn't mess up URLs and such)	[reply]
