Cron not retaining TERM setting
Hi,
I'm sure there's something I'm simply not grasping, but I have a third-party utility (TPU) that needs to run in cron. This utility displays it's output in several formats, depending on the TERM value. cron has no TERM value by default, which results in the TPU dying with an error Sorry, I don't know anything about your "unknown" terminal. So, I attempted to fix that by setting a value to TERM prior to the call to the TPU. TERM=xterm;thirdPartyProduct However, this dies with the same error. Does this mean that I'm using incorrect syntax to set and retain the TERM value? Anyone have any idea what I can do in order to pass a known term value to the TPU? TIA. |
