So I have discovered, and that was what lead to my confusion. The following code using wget does, however work. You will notice that I am reading the stream from stderr. When I do this I am able to retrieve the status information that wget normally writes to the console. using System; using System.Diagnostics; using System.IO; class MainClass { public static void Main(string[] args) { ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo(); psi.FileName = "/usr/bin/wget"; // //change the pths to one of your choosing // psi.Arguments = "-m -nd --directory-prefix=/home/tracy/Downloads/test --input-file=/home/tracy/Downloads/test/wgetlist"; psi.RedirectStandardInput = false; psi.RedirectStandardOutput = false; psi.RedirectStandardError = true; //place the following text in a file name wgetlist //ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/disks/2/mandrake/devel/cooker/i586/media/main/cdrdao-1.2.0-2mdk.i586.rpm // psi.UseShellExecute = false; Process process = Process.Start(psi); Console.WriteLine("Process Name: " + process.ProcessName); Console.WriteLine("Process Id: " + process.Id); Console.WriteLine("Process RedirectInput: " + process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput); Console.WriteLine("Process RedirectOutput: " + process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput); Console.WriteLine("Process RedirectError: " + process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError); Console.WriteLine("Processing"); bool retn = false; while (!retn) { StreamReader sr = null; sr = process.StandardError; string content = sr.ReadLine(); Console.WriteLine("Stuff my GUI application will use: " + content); retn = process.WaitForExit(1000); } Console.WriteLine("Process has exited: " + retn.ToString()); process.Close(); } } _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
