Package: nsca Version: 2.4-3 Severity: normal What the subject says. This is problem for uses in, for example, cron. One might well use '/usr/sbin/send_nsca -H hostip > /dev/null', under the reasonable assumption that no news is good news. However, since send_nsca writes error messages to the wrong stream, it can fail with no notice via email from cron.
Writing errors to stderr is established Unix/POSIX practice. thanks, Steve -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.18-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Versions of packages nsca depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libmcrypt4 2.5.7-4 De-/Encryption Library ii nagios-text 2:1.3-cvs.20050116-1 A host/service/network monitoring -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
