I am using wget command for download in terminal Is there an option in the wget command that the download starts at a certain date and time?
 


You can make a cronjob within crontab that calls wget at a specific time. wget itself doesn't have a scheduler.
 
You can also use the 'at' command, which is what I do if it's a one-off. If it's more than once or twice, cron is a much better job.
 
You can use cron to schedule "at" jobs. :p
 
Oh, I've often said that I shouldn't be left alone in a room with a big red button that says 'DO NOT PRESS'. 'Cause as soon as I'm left alone in the room, I'm pushing that button. I don't even care if it ends the world, I'm pushing the button.
