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.
Check out "screen". It is a terminal multiplexer that supports detach
and re-attach ("control-A d" detaches and "screen -r" re-attaches).
screen is your friend! I use it a LOT! I'm with Chris in thinking it's
the best solution to your problem. You can launch it detached by using:
screen -d -m "wget ...."
That will create a screen session, run the wget in it and detach your
console. Later, you can "screen -r" to reattach to that session and you
can watch its progress. "ctrl-a d" in the screen window would detach
again and let it run in the background.
Alternately, just run "screen". In the subsequent window, run your
wget command, and hit "ctrl-a d" to detatch from the screen session.
The rest of the commands I mention above are still valid.
Once you reattach and see that the wget is done, just "exit" to
terminate the screen session. Easy peasy.
