It's a good idea to use variables for storing the filenames used.
It's also a good idea to use an absolute path when accessing the file.
eg:
my_user = "voytek"
ccc_final = "/var/tmp/ccc"
ccc_html = "http:.../ccc.html"
ccc_txt = "/var/tmp/ccc.txt"
ccc_bod = "/var/tmp/ccc.bod"
wget ... $ccc_html
...
links -dump $ccc_html > $ccc_txt
...
awk '/Page/, /References/ { print }' $ccc_txt > $ccc_bod
...
mail -s "ccc list" $my_user < $ccc_final
etc.
