I admit to not knowing much about lynx but how does this process stop? In my experience
(and brief test a moment ago) if you call lynx and point it to a page with no output it
loads a blank page and then just sits there like any other browser. Yes, the script was
executed and the desired result was achieved but if I run this from a cron job won't I
have a bunch of old lynx jobs hanging around? I'm guessing there is a way to configure
lynx to quit after loading a page or something like that but I'm in the dark on that.
Thanks for the info.
