What is the default user agent when using the 'wget' command on Linux. I'm not trying to fake out a website when it's being used, I simply want to know what appears in the Apache logs. Thanks!

You can change it with command --user-agent=agent-string.
Wget normally identifies as ‘Wget/version’, version being the current version number of Wget.

From the manual
The http protocol allows the clients to identify themselves using a User-Agent header field. This enables distinguishing the www software, usually for statistical purposes or for tracing of protocol violations. Wget normally identifies as ‘Wget/version’, version being the current version number of Wget.
