Myself, I used to mail myself the output of esync, and now I mail myself the output of eix-sync, so I don't have so much experience with using emerge --sync in a cron job, but this looks like it might be what you're looking for: --nospinner Disables the spinner for the session. The spinner is active when the terminal device is determined to be a TTY. This flag disables it regardless. You might also be interested in: --quiet (-q) Results may vary, but the general outcome is a reduced or condensed output from portage's displays.
