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