Hi,

I'd like to mirror a website using wget in a cron job, but I'd like to be notified of errors. I have two possibilities:

=> use wget -m -nv
but then I get more information than I would want, and I can't just run wget in a cron, because I would get a mail after each run
=> use wget -m -q
but then I wouldn't be notified of errors

I'd suggest adding a --show-errors options, which could be used in addition to -q, to display error messages when something goes wrong.

Thank you,

Lucas Nussbaum <lnu>
