That could well be the > problem. I have a different problem with lynx that is producing the exact same error message. I posted a question to the "lynx-dev@sig.net" mailing list about a week ago and got zero responses. Below is a copy of my original question to them. --------------------------------------------------------------------- I am attempting to automate some alpha pages to my beeper via a cgi-bin app the beeper vendor has online. I wrote a little shell script that looks like this: #!/bin/sh # echo "PIN=5551212&MSSG=$1" > /tmp/page echo '---' >> /tmp/page # lynx -post_data < /tmp/page http://www.pagercom.com/cgi-bin/wwwpage.exe Here's the problem...This works great using version 2.7.1 of lynx, which I have on one of my systems (luckily)...but it doesn't work using version 2.8.1rel1 of lynx on another system I have here. Now I originally had the lynx call looking like this: lynx -post_data http://www.pagercom.com/cgi-bin/wwwpage.exe < /tmp/page until I saw a message in the lynx mailing archives that suggested the URL last on the cmdline for another problem involving -get_data, so I figured, why not give it a shot. But either way fails with this error message: Exiting via interrupt: 15 lynx: Can't access startfile http://www.pagercom.com/cgi-bin/wwwpage.exe The two systems are both running FreeBSD if that helps at all. Anyone have a clue why the newer version of lynx barfs on this? Is there a better method to get this to work? Should this work? P.S. The URL in the above examples is ficticious. --------------------------------------------------------------------- +-- http://www.download.net ------------- http://www.thecore.com --+ | Shaun M.
