wget: Signals

 
 8.8 Signals
 ===========
 
 Since the purpose of Wget is background work, it catches the hangup
 signal (‘SIGHUP’) and ignores it.  If the output was on standard output,
 it will be redirected to a file named ‘wget-log’.  Otherwise, ‘SIGHUP’
 is ignored.  This is convenient when you wish to redirect the output of
 Wget after having started it.
 
      $ wget http://www.gnus.org/dist/gnus.tar.gz &
      ...
      $ kill -HUP %%
      SIGHUP received, redirecting output to `wget-log'.
 
    Other than that, Wget will not try to interfere with signals in any
 way.  ‘C-c’, ‘kill -TERM’ and ‘kill -KILL’ should kill it alike.
