Hi, I tried your solution - I created a script that would call the url. When I run the script from the command line, it works. When I run The script from the cron, I get the following error: Your "cron" job on cobweb2 autDel.py produced the following output: Traceback (most recent call last): File "autDel.py", line 3, in ? import urllib, sys File "/usr/local/lib/python2.1/urllib.py", line 26, in ? import socket File "/usr/local/lib/python2.1/socket.py", line 41, in ? from _socket import * ImportError: ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/python: fatal: libgcc_s.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory Have you seen this before? How did you handle it?

When I run lynx interactively, there are certain prompts I have to answer - so I created an expect script to do this.
Do you know of alternatives that will not require bringing up a browser?
Python and urllib, or Perl and LWP. Assuming the prompts you answer in lynx are just form entries, it's simple. Even my feeble Python skills managed to put together a script that filled out all the entries on Verizon's website in order to send my phone a text message: #!/usr/bin/python import urllib, sys params = urllib.urlencode({'min': '8005551212', 'showDisclaimer': 'n', 'Send.x': 'Yes', 'Subject': '', 'senderName': 'Me', 'message': sys.argv[1]}) f=urllib.urlopen("http://www.msg.myvzw.com/results.jsp",params) All the above parameters were just scraped out of the HTML source of the form. -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- renfro@tntech.edu
