Re: [elinks-users] Can I run elinks without terminal
You could try using the expect program to run your elinks process, examine the history and then process the rsults.

Yeah, looks like it. So -dump won't work.

But I'm not sure how they handle with redirects. I still think that wget/curl is a better solution for this problem.

Re: [elinks-users] Can I run elinks without terminal
Thx for your reply, Simon. Yes, I tried to use "-dump", but cannot reach my goal. With -dump, there are two problems: 1, history file is not touched. 2, Can not handle redirection by meta tag and JavaScript. I try to use a browser, like Elinks, is because I want to find a way can resolve those redirections by one solution. And I'm sure Elinks could handle JavaScript better than my script :) On Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 9:32 PM, Simon Ruderich wrote: > On Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 04:14:41PM +0800, Tian You wrote: > > Hi guys, > > I want to know can I run elinks without display the page, and exit after > > loading of the page is finished. > > You could use -dump and redirect the output to /dev/null.

You could use -dump and redirect the output to /dev/null.

I'm not sure if Elinks' JavaScript support is sophisticated enough for all kinds of redirection; HTTP and meta tags should work fine. > If the elinks can work as I described above, then I can get the URL list > from the it's history file. Hm, looks like the history file is not touched when using -dump. Not sure if you can get Elinks to store it. > Any comments on this? > > Thanks, > Animal I think a simpler way would be to use wget/curl (it handles HTTP redirects) and a little script which searches for meta redirects and tries to find JavaScript redirects.
