[Zope] xron on Solaris

 I'm not sure how I would do that.  Initially, I was invoking the URL for
the deletion method using lynx.  When I run lynx interactively, there are
certain prompts I have to answer - so I created an expect script to do this.
The script runs when invoked from a terminal session - but had problems when
I ran the expect script in a xron.

Also, the sys admin for the runtime machine is not keen on installing lynx.
Do you know of alternatives that will not require bringing up a browser?

Thanks for your help - I really appreciate it.

It probably is. Xron has never felt very reliable. Why not just use
cron?
