$ echo echo o\|wall|batch is guaranteed to earn the user an email |Subject: Output from your job 126 |wall: cannot get tty name: Inappropriate ioctl for device The man page should say how to 'prevent that error'. $ echo 'echo o|wall;echo $?'|batch Shows that it is not an error, as $?=0. So one would think to use 2>&-, but that might suppress other errors etc. Anyway, the man page should mention this guaranteed problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
