Your terminal lack the ability...

Post by **CrazyCat** » Mon Jan 14, 2002 7:37 am

I've made a tcl wich uses Lynx to dump a webpage and store it on my computer.
When the eggdrop is launched by botchk , I've an error:
"Your terminal lack the ability to clear the screen or position the cursor."
the botck is launched by crontab with my account, and the directory in which I write the file is owned by Nobody and its mode are 666
When I launch the eggdrop using ./eggdrop bot.conf, I've not any trouble.
Who can help me with that?

Lynx is terminal based web browser. You get into trouble when trying use it without controling terminal. I suggest you to use wget instead.

lynx is using ncurses, probably why it refuses to run.

Read the wget man page, it has alot of features wich you should consider. A shame you haven't used wget - it rock!

You would use wget to download the file, then you need to open the file and read it in.

You could allways use the http package that comes with tcl.
