<pre class="k9mail">Hi All,<br /><br />I have a weird (or stupid idk) problem. A script of mine produces<br />different results when ran interactively as root, from when ran as a cron<br />job.<br /><br />used=`report -i --csv 2>/dev/null | awk '/Total/ {print $4}'`<br />echo $used is Total<br /> <br /><br />The command executed says "Using config file XXX" to stderr and something<br />useful to stdout of which I extract the value of Total. Redirecting the<br />barf to /dev/null. <br /><br />Now as a cron job the $used is empty. I believe that cronjob would<br />redirect stderr to stodut? But here it happens also for the subprocesses ?<br />Confused..<br /></pre></blockquote></div><br>
