Why I have to set someting in terminals if I want to run the command as
a script.

So...
My monitor is 1900x800
My konsole is set to be 196x40

I think the problem isn't on the monitor.
The problem is that the output is not everytime the same. And I can't
understand what is the logic for yum to choose what is the line size.
If I send output to a file, the row size is everytime 80 char, but this
is not a good choise.
I found this on the output.py
def _term_width():
""" Simple terminal width, limit to 20 chars. and make 0 == 80. """
if not hasattr(urlgrabber.progress, 'terminal_width_cached'):
return 80
ret = urlgrabber.progress.terminal_width_cached()
if ret == 0:
return 80
if ret < 20:
return 20
return ret
I can't imagine why the limit should be set to 20 or to 80.
I don't know how to change it, but I think that if output is sent to
nonterminal devices, (like files or pipe for examples), the row limit as
to be set to infinite.
I will try to tell to yum developer.
