SUMMARY:
You might get the following errors when you run a Progress client on UNIX platforms from crontab:
** Could not find terminal type dumb in file . (146)
Unable to use your terminal. Check your PROTERMCAP file. (443)
Usually these errors are mailed to the owner of the crontab.
SOLUTION:
A workaround is to create a script and set the TERM environment variable to a terminal recognized by the Progress client.
Example:
TERM=vt220; export TERM
/usr/dlc/bin/mbpro <db path>/dbname -p startup.p
