If memory serves me, cron jobs do not get their own tty.<br>tty based file handels can get flaky in cron jobs.<br>I have run across situations in Solaris and AIX, <br>where the the last filehandle accessed --redirected to /dev/null or not-- by a cron script is the one that gets the output.<br>
I am not sure why or what causes it.&nbsp; <br><br>I would force the STDOUT and STDERR of each command in the job to $0.$DATESTAMP log files until the error(s) reproduce.<br>that way it can &quot;hopefully&quot; be determined where it is comming from and suppression or remediation can <br>

This is just a random guess, but the text reminds me of:<br>

receiving file list ... done<br>

from rsync. &nbsp;I wonder what could cause this to be printed if it were<br>
rsync...<br>

<br>
Yes, rsync always do that:<br>
<br>
building file list ... done<br>
...<br>
receiving file list ... done<br>

This makes me wonder if rsync is sending part of that message to stderr. I tried to reproduce it but have been unable to. &nbsp;It just sortof happens sometimes.<br><font color="#888888">
