Just installed a new 6.2 version and a funtion that worked under 6.1 stopped working. I uninstalled lynx-2.8.3-2 and re-installed lynx-2.8.2-2 to fix the problem. The function that I was using consisted of running a shell script from cron with the following line: /usr/bin/lynx -dump http://www.bluehornet.com > /dev/null The entry logged to /var/log/cron but did not log to /var/log/httpd/access_log. Once I downgraded to the older version, it started to work again. The funny thing is that when I ran the shell script command line it worked, just now with the cron. Any help in fixing this is greatly appreciated. Richard Asp support
As a workaround, use: TERM=vt102 /usr/bin/lynx -dump http://www.bluehornet.com > /dev/null One could debate whether this is a bug or feature.
It doesn't happen with the current version (2.8.4-5)
