Bug#180156: xutils: xon calls program hostname in wrong way
Package: xutils
Version: 4.2.1-5
Severity: normal
Hello,
The "xon" calls "hostname --version".
The mistake is that xon does not anticipate that "hostname --version" prints
its information to stderr (instead of stdout).
May I also suggest a bit more error handling?
e.g. when someone uses "xon -debug hostname cmd"
Regards,
Erwin
