Background task to download FC14 isos

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In the past I have always gotten on the terminal of a server and 
executed a script that did a bunch of wgets to get the CD isos for a 
release.

Well I want to grab the FC14 isos, and I am not home for a few days.  I 
can't do it in a SSH session to a server at home as I will drop my 
session before all the images are downloaded.

So I looked to crontab to run my script.  But I could not see how to get 
crontab to run something once on the hour and then never again.  Unless 
the last line in my script was to rm the script.  Plus it will take more 
than an hour to download the isos.  I suppose I could use 16 as the hour 
so it would only run it on the 16th hour of the day and that would give 
me a day to clear out my crontab.

Or is there a better tool?  For example if I run the script with an & 
after it, then drop my connection will the script keep running?
