Hello,
Every time I use wget http://www.domain.com a Log file is being saved automatically on my server. is there anyway to run this command without logging?
Thanks,
Joel
A:
You could try -o and -q
-o logfile
--output-file=logfile
Log all messages to logfile. The messages are
normally reported to standard error.
-q
--quiet
Turn off Wget's output.
So you'd have:
wget ... -q -o /dev/null ...

This isn't writing any logs anywhere. /dev/null is not a regular file, whatever you write there is not really written, so it does not take space and of course cannot be read back.

This will print the site contents to the standard output, is this what you mean when you say that you don't want logging to a file?
wget -O - http://www.domain.com/

After I run the wget command, a file named "index.php" (which I ran using WGET) is created on my server directory , with the output of the page inside it. I don't want any output, whatsoever... I run this file to do some UPDATES in the database, and need no output of any kind
