>Many shell scripts run from cron have a 'dumb' terminal value.
And these scripts should output directly and not run a pager -- so matchin=
g what is being suggested for 'dumb'.=20
In fact they already run without pager because their stdout is not a tty. =
What is being discussed here is what psql should do when it is writing to =
a tty, so interactive in some sense, but with TERM=3Ddumb. Decades ago tha=
t would have meant a teleprinter terminal (or, perhaps, some ancient seria=
l terminal or Minix 1.0). Nowadays it means running inside emacs or some o=
ther management program, so there is no need to run a pager.
