Thanks, I did find the error on why Lynx was not working. Was just a brain fart on my end. I forgot to include the single quotes around the url. example : lynx -auth=username:password ' http://www.yourdomain.com/test?ids:list=acl_users&manage_delObjects:method=D...' Test is just a folder that has a user folder in it. So you can use this to delete users in lower folders why keeping the admin in the root. For anyone who does not know why I needed the quotes .... in uxin the & symbol pushes the program to the background . So lynx would run but only up to right after the acl_users line. Putting in it single quotes says not to change and run as is.

I have found a way to kill the user via a link or straight html url

now if I can get my lynx to run it ok I will be set. ( lynx does not like it so far but works fine from a browser url )

If Lynx isn't working, try the -force_html switch. I think Lynx gets confused by the fact that the URL does not point to a .htm or .html file.

I doubt it is the lack of .htm/.html. Ihave a cronjob set up via lynx that accesses a zope URL that doesn't have a .anything, and it works flawlessly. Add the --source switch to lynx, it should work then. In my case, I call a URL that creates an instance of a ZClass. I suspect the username:password _may_ be a factor, but it is likely you just need to add the --source. -- E PLURIBUS LINUX _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
