Hi,

I periodically download a file with "wget -N someurl". I want to execute some 
external program to process the downloaded file, but only when wget actually 
downloaded a new version of it.

I'm using time stamping and wget always exits with zero if it could contact the 
server. So I can't use "wget -N someurl && somescript.sh", this would always 
execute the program.

Currently I use the -nv switch and then count lines of stderr+stdout and if 
it's 1, then execute the script.

Is there a better way, something like find's --exec?

Wget version 1.11.4 on linux.
