I'd like to send this URL:
http://wwwapps.ups.com/transit/timetran.cgi?origin=30096&dest=70345

to a utility and have it return the resulting webpage to a file.  This
way I can get information in batches.  I've tried

$ lynx
http://wwwapps.ups.com/transit/timetran.cgi?origin=30096&dest=70345 >
result_file.txt

but lynx doesn't exit.  I don't know of a lynx option switch to make it
exit after receiving a web page.  Does htget or wget utilities do this?


Thanks,
