i currently use lynx in a sript as follows:
lynx -cmd_script=myscript -term=vt100 www.someurl.com > output.txt
i have to run this script in an xterm that is large enough such that
the COLUMNS and LINES environment variables are 163 and 80 resopectively
to aquire all of the site content and pipe it to the output.txt file.
i wish to call this script from crontab. i tried changing the sript
as follows:
COLUMNS=163 LINES=80 lynx -cmd_script=myscript -term=vt100 www.someurl.
com > output.txt
but it is as if the aforementioned environment variables are set
to very small values as most of the data is missing from the piped
output file (is like using lynx w/ a very small xterm window.
how may i run lynx and spoof the COLUMNS and LINES environment variable
values?
by the way, i have tried the -width=163 lynx parameter but this does
not seem to help me.
