[lug] Terminal error. On cron job.

[John Starkey]

I was helping someone set up and rsync backups for their MySQL DBs. They
just wrote me back with this question. I don't have the slightest. I
could stretch and say cron is looking for vt100 or something. But, that
doesn't sound right to me, I thought I'd ask around for him.
