I am a little confused. I believe the problem is with the "if [ ! -t 0 ]"
statement. I tried to redirect the error message; however, it still appears in
the email sent by CRON. I tried using this statement instead: if ( ! tty -s &>
/dev/null ) and "if ( ! tty -s ) &> /dev/null"; however, they also produce an
error message although the function does work correctly. Is this just something
I should just ignore, or is there a way to stop the message from being sent in
the CRON report?
