writing to /dev/stdout fails in cron script

[Tony van der Hoff <tony@vanderhoff.org>]

Hi,

Running up-to-date Wheezy.

I have a script, simplified like this:

-----------------------------
#!/bin/bash
DEBUG=1

OUT=/dev/null

if [ $DEBUG -ne 0 ]; then
	OUT=/dev/stdout
fi

echo hello > $OUT
-----------------------------

This works fine when invoked from the command line, but when called as a
cron task, same user, it fails with
/home/tony/scripts/test: line 10: /dev/stdout: Permission denied

Any suggestions on how to fix this, please?
