Sending an Ip/web address from Unix
I would like to be able to send a link address from a unix script. So for example I have web address "www.xyzrunreport.com" that I want to execute, for lack of a better word, from a unix script. When this web address is hit, it starts some automated report processing. In the unix script I dont need anything returned from the website other than just the fact the I was able to successfully connect to the web address.

Sorry if I am unclear about exactly what I am trying to do here and likely not using the correct terminology, but am new to the unix arena, and any help or direction on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.

I think you can use wget Look into the man pages for more options.

The simplest command would be

Code:
wget www.xyzrunreport.com

vino

wget
Vino,

I tried wget on our system and did not find this utility. We have AIX 5.2. Could you possibly let us know where to find/get this utility. Thanks.

I had a look at the IBM AIX documentation. There was no mention of wget in that.

I suppose you need to get it downloaded separately on to your machine.

Get it from here

Maybe "curl" will be an option?
