Hi,

You might have problem with the proxy. try with this and check if it can execute wget.

export http_proxy='proxy_server_ip:8080'

export http_proxy='http://myproxy.cmp.com:8080/'

any other command to fire url through shell script.

try with this one..

curl 'www.google.com' > index.html
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

Why are none of the above solutions good? What do you need?
