No, the behavior he described is accurate: cron(8) sends email if a job produced output, irrespective of its exit status. Google is littered with people trying to figure out how to get cron(8) to send email based on exit code... so it's certainly a common problem. Maybe some Unix decided to send email based on exit status, but OpenBSD's does not. -- Matthew Weigel hacker unique & idempot . ent
