No. But we can ask the users if they would like the --return(-file) to mean: Return a file if it is there, otherwise do nothing. > Use case: I run a script on remote which will not always create an output. > This is intentional, thus not writing a file is not an error. > However, in that case I would like '--return' to be ignored in order not to > spam my stderr with false positives. I understand your problem, but do not see the option as generally useful. It is unclear to me, why you cannot simply do a 'touch outputfile in the remote script'. This way you would always generate an outputfile, and if it is empty, you simply ignore it. /Ole
