Re: Can multiple wget processes uses the same cookie file for --load-cookies cookie.txt --keep-session-cookies --save-cookies cookie.txt?

[Tim Rühsen]

First of all: never let parallel wget instances work on the same directory.

Regarding your question, wget1: No, wget2: Yes.

To get this working with wget1, I suggest the following steps
1. --load-cookies=cookie.txt
2. --save-cookies=<unique cookie file for each wget process>
3. use a bash script to merge the unique cookie files into one
cookies.txt (e.g. something like 'cat file1 file2 ...|sort -u
>cookies.txt').
