Re: Why lynx don't work with cron?

Hiya, I was waiting for someone to answer this question but it hasn't happened yet. I was using this a couple years ago to get a weather page from http after the ftp site with the raw text disappeared. Rest assured this has NOTHING to do with php and everything to do with lynx. I ran my script fine, then after I upgraded my system (I believe it was redhat 6.2) I started getting the error msg you got. After doing 'man lynx' and reading what I could, I gave up really fast and just reinstalled an older version of lynx cause let's face it, it was just a weather script that didn't warrant more than 20 minutes on. The message is basically saying "Hey, you're running me from a cron job and I can't find an ncurses terminal to output to!" I am assuming that's what it is but don't quote me :) You may want to spend a little time in the lynx docs, and then let us know when you find out :) Also, I'm not 100% sure that the script itself isn't running.....try redirecting that from dev/null to writing to a file like /home/user/TEST.PHP and examine the contents.....
