I've run into a problem of which I was unaware. If you run a command like "lynx -dump http://someurl.com/page.php" in cron it could give you an error like "Your terminal lacks to ability to position the cursor..." I delivers this message to the user running the script or /dev/null if that's where you direct it so you'll never no it isn't working. To fix this, add the following line to your crontab file: TERM=vt100 It fixes the problem. Just thought someone would need this sooner or later.
