Nohup and wget

[Lionel_deschamps]

Hi all !

It might be a bug in wget (or me not being a pro with messages ...).

I wrote a simple bash program performing some periodic wget request and some 
sleeps between each request called prequest.sh
I do execute this program through ssh and I would like this program to run even 
if ssh connexion is lost.
I did use in ssh : nohup ./prerequest >/dev/null 2>&1 &

Now here is my “bug”

If I use wget with -q option, it runs fine and keeps running even if 
disconnected
I I use directly wget without -q, it runs fine but wget are not performed if 
i’m disconnected. Prequest seems to run as the sleeps are done.

I honnestly see no links between the -q option (no output) and the ssh 
disconnection effects and I’m very interested in understanding the issue or let 
you know that there might be a bug in wget.

Thansks all and have a great day.
