[Lynx-dev] Question to the option "-connect_timeout"

[Jens Schleusener]

Hello,

I use within a script the program "lynx" via

  lynx -dump -nolist URL

and added now the option

  -connect_timeout=15

to shorten the general processing time while connecting to invalid or 
currently unreachable URLs. That works if I call the script interactively 
(on the console) but not if the script is called as a cronjob. Instead a 
"usage"-message is issued where the option "-connect_timeout" is missing.

Why? Any ideas?

Greetings

Jens
