Just a wget in the crontab, disks spinning ups each time ...
Hello !
I put a single wget each hour in the crontab of my DNS 323 using same the method as in this tutorial :
http://dns323.kood.org/howto:backup
My wget is doing fine, and all ... but each time it launch that wget the disks spins up.
Is there any way to do this without spinning disks ?
I was thinks at : putting the wget binary on a USB key, mount it, and launch by using /mnt/USB ...
could that work ?

You need to start wget from somewhere else than your hard disk, otherwise it will spin up. USB disk would be an option but you can use the RAM drive as well if that wget binary isn't that big. Copy it to /bin for example. That should work.
What about the files that wget downloads? If they are stored to the hard disk you get the same problem again - the disk will spin up.
