>Many shell scripts run from cron have a 'dumb' terminal value.
And these scripts should output directly and not run a pager -- so matching what is being suggested for 'dumb'.
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=dumb. Decades ago that would have meant a teleprinter terminal (or, perhaps, some ancient serial terminal or Minix 1.0). Nowadays it means running inside emacs or some other management program, so there is no need to run a pager.
