Well, they're right: You don't have a terminal, and that badly-programmed proprietary app apparently demand one even in batch mode. You'll have to fake the presence of a terminal somehow.
From
here:
Quote:
in the book "Adv. Programming
in the Unix environment" second edition,
on page 694 a program pty is described (source code), with can be used
to connect a programm to a pty, i.e. fake a terminal to the command.
The chapter clearifys a lot of pty/tty miracles to me.
Unfortunately the relevant section isn't visible on Google Books...
Also, the
expect language may be capable of this.
As a long shot, 'export COLUMNS=132' might be sufficient, maybe.

Usage : ipcheck.py [options] Username Password Hostnames or ipcheck.py [options] --acctfile acct_info_file
Options: -a address manually specify the address
-r URL NAT router, use web IP detection
-A text
scan syslog for an IP after text (Unix only)
-F filename
guess the WAN IP from a firewall log
-b backup mx option ON (default OFF)
-c custom dns option (default dynamic)
-d dir directory for data files (default current)
-e script
execute script after a successful update
-f force update regardless of current state
-g NAT router, let dyndns guess your IP (do not use this in a cronjob, try -r)
-h print this help text
--help print all available help text

For help with different options: python ipcheck.py -h For supported devices listing : python ipcheck.py --devices For long detailed help
text : python ipcheck.py --help
Make sure you can write to the current directory for data files and that you always run from the same directory. The first time you run
the script, you will be asked to run with the --makedat option in addition to any other options. This will create the data files for the
hostnames and options your specify on the command line. You should only do this once. Subsequent runs should be made without the --make-
dat option.
For help with different options: python ipcheck.py -h For supported devices listing : python ipcheck.py --devices For long detailed help
text : python ipcheck.py --help
Example 1: the external IP is on eth0 of the current machine python ipcheck.py -l -i eth0 username password hostnames
Example 2: you are using the Linksys routing device python ipcheck.py -l -L linksyspassword username password hostnames
Example 3: you want to use web based ip detection python ipcheck.py -l -r checkip.dyndns.org:8245 ...
where ... is your dyndns username password and hostnames. Hostnames should be comma delimited if there are more than one.
