lynx execute problem

I can't find anything wrong, all my tests work.

Possibly moving to the "open" approach would be better.

You might want to check the URL.

Have you tried the exact line fromt he shell, to see if it functions normaly?

lynx execute problem

2003-03-27T05:50:27-04:00

Hi

I have a script that has the following line in it to run lynx:

set all [exec lynx -dump -nolist -width=3000 "http://www.theurlim usingetcetc.com"]

However, I'm getting this error when trying to run the script"

Tcl error [y_minute_trigger]: couldn't execute "lynx": permission denied

I'm not sure why as another script I use also uses lynx, and it works fine - though I notice it uses: open "|$lynx instead of exec

All the permissions are checked enable on lynx...

Wonder if anyone can help me on this?

Thanks
