I have a daily backup with obnam scheduled using a cronjob. The job succeeds without problems, however the cron daemon mails the following output to me every day:
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
I looked for the source of this message, but neither obnam nor python know about the "-T" parameter. So I tried to wrap the job in a shell script that sets the TERM environment variable if not set like this:
if [ -z "$TERM" ]; then
export TERM=linux
fi
But that didn't help either. Any ideas how to fix this?

tput is a shell command (see "man tput"). Obnam does not use it in any way, not even
indirectly, as far as I can see. What I suspect is happening is that when you invoke commands
from your crontab, it invokes your shell, and that runs something like `.bashrc`, and you
have something that calls tput.
As such, unless shown otherwise, I'll assume this is not a bug in Obnam, sorry. --liw
