--- Begin Message ---Hi Everyone, The following request was received from a Debian user; could you comment on it? I think this seems reasonable, although the cron output can be fixed by writing to a temporary file and using grep -v. (The temporary file is necessary to avoid discarding the exit code, although that may not be needed in the case of rsync, since it writes that to stderr).
