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.
