background task to wget Fedora 18

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

 



Well the new release is out, and I am away at IEEE 802 wireless meeting across the continent from my server.

Normally when I am fetching a new distro, I am local and VNC into my server (over SSH), open a terminal window and start the wget. At any time I can reopen a VNC connection and see how the download(s) is doing. But from here it is a number of island hops to get to that server, and does not always work. I CAN do only moderately painful via a number off SSH hops. So other than adding the wget(s) to crontab (I will do that anyway for the updates tree), or ending the wget command with '&' (and then not really knowing when it completes), how might I best remotely trigger these downloads so when I get home friday, they are there for me to work on?
