>Description:
I have a program that produces no output to STDOUT. When this program is run from cron I get emails with the message:
Can't ignore signal CHLD, forcing to default.
>How-To-Repeat:
crontest.pl:
#!/usr/pkg/bin/perl -w
exit 0;
add crontest.pl to crontab
wait for email.
>Fix:
A search on deja tells me that OpenBSD and FreeBSD have solved this problem, but I have yet to see the actual solution.
