Package: incron
Version: 0.5.5-1
Severity: important

If incron launches a command it does silently discard and drop its
output. That is *very* bad, because it makes logging of the output
impossible.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a script test.sh which does simply echo something (e.g. Hello
World)
2. Create a incrontab entry which executes this script and pipes it
output to logger, e.g. $CMD | logger -t cmd
3. Trigger the event that causes the CMD to execute

The best approach would be to do what crond does about output.
