the gist of my original email is this:
i run a script that calls lynx-ssl w/ the -cmd_script option in an
xterm that is COLUMNS=163 LINES=40 and pipe the stdio to a text file,
i.e., lynx -cmd_script=myscript www.someurl.com > output.txt. COLUMNS=163
LINES=40 environment variables are set by the size of my xterm window.
i want to call this lynx session from a cron job. i need lynx to
think that the xterm (stdio) window size is at least 163x40 when
run from crontab. the default values are much smaller than what i
wish to use. is there a workaround?
