I calling an url using wget. This url gives me a response, its a Message id. I want to write the logs to a log file, with the message id as well. Also the log should be appended each time. I trying to do it in my shell script.
Is it possible to do this? If so how can i do it.
bash shell-script logs wget output

Did you already try usingwget's--append-output=logfile(-a logfile) option? It looks like it is precisely what you would need.

@Emeric I have tried that it works fine for writing the output to the file. I also want the response to be written to the same file after the output. I need help with this.

wget -O - $url --append-output=logfile >> logfile
Specifying - as filename for -O writes the output to stdout.
My shell does not hate using logfile for both append operations. It might work for you as well.

It works like a charm, Thanks, but is there a way to have the response after the output instead of the with the output.

You can try using-nv, --no-verboseoption. It reduces the-apart to a single line, but that single line can only be displayed after the requested contents have been retrieved (and therefore written to the logfile) since it also records whether the retrieval was successful.

I found a work around
wget --no-check-certificate -O contnt -a logfile $url
cat contnt >> logfile
rm contnt
is there any other better way of doing this which doesnt include reading from the file and deleting the file?
