Hello All,
I need the script for using wget in a cron job for timed downloads at night and disconnect by morning. There are Triband NU users who use the script for night downloads. So if a script copy could be posted, I would be grateful.
Regards,
Rony.

Tell me exactly what it needs to do, I'll be happy to write you one.

I need to start a dialup connection using wvdial and wget the iso download. The connection must close before 6 AM.
It is a Reliance FWP Freedom at Night plan where downloads are unlimited between 10 pm to 6 am. The speed was too slow though on the first day. I connect using 'sudo wvdial reliance' and manually give 'sudo route add default ppp0'. Then give 'wget url'. I will start the download but I need to stop it just before 6 am and wget should keep the partial file resumable for next day.
Regards,
Rony.

script is being written - what is the command to stop the download?

I do Ctrl + C to stop wvdial. But I guess 'ifdown ppp0' should work as the connection gets this id after its up.

Use bridged mode and setup MTNL xDSL account on your system.
Then simple cron entries would be:(assuming mtnl as name given) 00 0 * * * /sbin/ifdown mtnl #this makes sure that you old session is terminated if on 01 0 * * * /sbin/ifup mtnl 02 0 * * * wget/curl/lftp ... whatever you need to run 59 7 * * * /sbin/ifdown mtnl
Sync your system to IST.
E&OE but you get the idea.

Thanks, that was what I was looking for. I will even add the route command in this.

Rony.

I made my own cron file based on your example. Here it is below. Is it correct? I plan to run the cron job as root so no sudo commands will be used.
10 22 * * * /usr/bin/wvdial reliance 11 22 * * * /sbin/route add default ppp0 12 22 * * * /usr/bin/wget/curl/http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i... 55 5 * * * /sbin/halt -p
The last line is to shut down the machine at 5.55 am.
Regards,
Rony.

I am not sure about that wget line, but I'd use:
12 22 * * * /usr/bin/wget -c http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i...
Of course, ensure that's what you want.

curl -C - http://yakyak if u want to continue the download from wherever it stopped. -c is for specifying the file to store cookies.
10 22 * * * /usr/bin/wvdial reliance
Dont know abt reliance but dialup sometimes take more than a minute.
11 22 * * * /sbin/route add default ppp0
So add this to your if-up.local, thats better.
Though, you should not need default route unless you have set nodefaultroute on PPPD or peers file. See man pppd.

My default route is eth0 for the ADSL.

Dear Rony, i understand that a download script would be the best in this case, but if it is the latest Debian you are looking for currently, just mail me of the list and i can pass it on to you.
