This reminds me... ^^^^^
Does the '-email' switch work properly for everyone else? When I was
having the 'connection timed out' errors this weekend, I was getting
them in cron emails generated from stderr output. From the
README/manpage for setiathome,
-email
Send email (to login email address) on errors.
Useful if you run in background directed to /dev/null.
I've never gotten mail from setiathome.
