i have tried this however w/o success ... this is why i looked into piping it through /dev/tty3 in my cron job bash script, i have tried: export LINES=80 export COLUMNS=160 lynx -cmd_script=myscript http://www.url.com > outfile.txt there has to be something i am overlooking here. the outfile.txt has data from the navigation of the website in it. however, it looks like the entire web page is piped to the outfile using row and column parameters that are much lower than the ones exported. it appears that lynx is using parameters for standard output that are smaller than the rows and columns of the webpage. the sizes i have selected in the cron job script i know to be sufficient to display an entire webpage from this site via lynx. i have seen this when runnin lynx in an xterm. this is an interesting problem to me. ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
