Yes, quite right, sets it for that shell. When I run these in cron I am reading in a pipe from lynx -dump url from within a perl script which processes the output. I've always found lynx ssl the best tool for this kind of job and that it gets lines perfectly and reliably. http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month082002/msg00279.html has some discussion of the subject; there is mention that cron won't set terminal modes since there is no tty device per se. __Stef ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
