Hi Everyone,

I noticed some shell script, for example those under /etc/cron.*/, uses "command > /dev/null" style. I think it's because they know the scripts is run under non-interactive shell. My question is, what would happen if ">/dev/null" is removed and the command tries to print something to "standand out" (who knows where it is :) Will that cause real trouble or simply leaves mess on some virtual console?

Thanks,
-tk.
