Whenever we issue the command:
rsync --delete-excluded --stats --checksum --compress --rsh=/usr/local/bin/s
sh --recursive
--times --perms --links --delete server.mydomain.net:/home/dir/
/home/backup/dir/
We get the message 'stdin: is not a tty' though everything seems to work OK.
What does this message mean and is there a way to disable it ?
(We are using openssh on Redhat 6.2)
Thanks,
Tal
