Hoi, I'm using this script (cronic) that uses the return-result of a program and possible output on stderr to decide wether a command has failed or not. If it has failed it sends the reporting on. For pkg audit -F I get: ---- Cronic detected failure or error output for the command: /usr/sbin/pkg audit -F RESULT CODE: 0 ERROR OUTPUT: pkg: vulnxml file up-to-date STANDARD OUTPUT: 0 problem(s) in the installed packages found. ---- Which is sort of weird, since everything was oke. Is there any particular design behind writting these informationals to stderr?? And/or would it not be better to write this to stdout? Regards, --WjW
