I am wget-ing a file and to preserve its original file name i do a find for its known extension.
Everything is working fine on the terminal but in a script the file is never available/there for the find command.
I guess after wget completes the download the file is not yet persisted to the file system ...
How can I wait for the file to be available?
wget -q -N "$BASEURL/$VERSION"
echo $(find . -maxdepth 1 -name *.jar)
wget

First, I'd use the-Ooption to specify a file path/name to output to - this way, you skip the find step. If the file really isn't there untilwgethas finally finished, then adding asleep 3(or however many seconds you want) after thewgetand before your next command(s) should do it. Be sure to quote the url you arewget-ing in case it has ampersands, etc. in it (which would sendwgetto the background and let the script continue, which means the file wouldn't be totally there)

sleep is working but very ugly, I don't want -O because I want to preserve its original name and the files are behind redirects

#!/bin/sh wget -q -N google.com echo $(find . -maxdepth 1 -name *.html)This works for me! Can you please paste the error text which you are getting?
