This is probably an error from ncurses. It can't find a suitable
terminfo entry for whatever TERM it finds in the environment, and a
daemon like cron isn't normally associated with any specific TERM.

Perhaps you have a `clear' command invoked somewhere from your
cron.hourly. You could ignore it, or pipe the stderr of clear to
/dev/null, or do something like "export TERM=ansi" at the beginning of
your script.
