retitle 327505 btdownloadheadless won't run without a terminal
tags 327505 - moreinfo
tags 327505 + patch
thanks
As Yitzhak Grossman mentioned, redirecting stdout and stderr does not
solve the problem. It is the fact that there is no terminal that causes
the problem -> title change.
My cron entry:
* * 1 1 * /usr/bin/btdownloadheadless my.torrent >& /dev/null

-> remove tag moreinfo
My patch wipes out all the ncurses stuff, however. This makes sense for
the headless client
-> add tag patch
