Package: moreutils Version: 0.45 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/chronic Hi,
While chronic prints any output if the command returns non-zero, it does not print anything unless the command itself does: pelle@piglet:~$ chronic false pelle@piglet:~$ While this is the correct, documented behaviour, there are some rare cases where scripts or commands will fail silently without printing an error message. In such cases, I would still really want to know about it. I suspect others would as well. It would be nice if chronic could print a message, such as <empty output, non-zero exit status> in such cases. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-2-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=sv_SE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages moreutils depends on: ii libc6 2.13-13 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libipc-run-perl 0.89-1 Perl module for running processes ii perl 5.12.3-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction moreutils recommends no packages.
