the gist of my original email is this: i run a script that calls lynx-ssl w/ the -cmd_script option in an xterm that is COLUMNS=163 LINES=40 and pipe the stdio to a text file, i.e., lynx -cmd_script=myscript www.someurl.com > output.txt. COLUMNS=163 LINES=40 environment variables are set by the size of my xterm window. i want to call this lynx session from a cron job. i need lynx to think that the xterm (stdio) window size is at least 163x40 when run from crontab. the default values are much smaller than what i wish to use. is there a workaround? ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
