Run lynx-dump in the background?

Question

I have a bash script mystuffcontaining a string like

lynx -dump http://example.com >tmpfile

and the script works fine, including this part, except when I run it non-interactively:

$ ./mystuff &
[1] 3712
$ jobs
[1]+ Stopped

The task is terminated. I find that a lynx is a criminal. Even running this command directly from the bash prompt will immediately terminate the job:

$ lynx -dump http://example.com >tmpfile &
[1] 1836
$ jobs
[1]+ Stopped

Why is Lynx not running in the background? How can i fix this?

EDIT:

I use lynx because I don't want to parse raw HTML. The difference between wgetand lynx -dumpis that lynx will display HTML; it will hide all tags, nicely place text, etc.

Answer 3

On my system, your lynx command works as is. Try this and see what happens:

lynx -dump -term=xterm http://example.com >tmpfile &

Answer 4

We were lucky to run lynx --source http_setting: // any | bash.

Running as bash allowed the background process to bypass working with my personal credentials and the absence of tty inconsistencies.
