Greetings. I wrote a little Perl script to ping some servers. I run 
the script from the command line and it generates no output (which is 
what I expect when the pings are successful). When I run it from 
cron, every time it runs it mails me a message that looks like:



Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2001 17:00:01 -0700 (PDT)
From: root (Cron Daemon)
To: root
Subject: Cron <root@208> /usr/local/bin/foo.pl

Can't ignore signal CHLD, forcing to default.


What the heck does that mean? How can I suppress it?
