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.
