Well, I have the old habit to display error messages on stderr ('not running') and informational ones on stdout ('running'). But you mention it, in that case, it's not relevant, since we're not really dealing with status, not errors, and since all messages are unconditionally written on stdout in the rest of the script. So I guess it's just a blatant mark of incoherency which should better disappear. :) -- Kilian CAVALOTTI Administrateur réseaux et systèmes UPMC / CNRS - LIP6 (C870) 8, rue du Capitaine Scott Tel. : 01 44 27 88 54 75015 Paris - France Fax. : 01 44 27 70 00
