tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified

[deedy-tech]

Hi
Firstly thanks for creating this tool, I find it really useful.

I am running the following command as a nightly cronjob on my Ubuntu 20.04 box and I get the following output

/usr/local/bin/mage2-backup --backup-code --skip-media --use-mysql-config --src-dir=/var/www/html --dest-dir=/S3/backups/LIVE/CODE/

tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified

Cheers
Rob

hi, this is an error being generated by the crontab rather than the backup script:
see here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29979966/tput-no-value-for-term-and-no-t-specified-error-logged-by-cron-process#:~:text=If%20no%20%24TERM%20variable%20is,like%20xterm%20)%20in%20the%20crontab.

you can add TERM=dumb or whatever terminal you prefer to your cron command to get rid of it
