Bug#454989: add error messages to cron script

["Lord of, St. Luke Valor" <lord.of.valor@gmail.com>]

When a program returns code 1 to stderr, that is the standard error. For example, if you were to ask someone, "Did it work?" the standard response for failure is, "No."

 

Think of the standard input/output stream as a system comprised of three components:

 

stdin = "What went in";

stdout = "What went out";

stderr = "What went wrong";

 

cout << "Here's looking at you, kid";

return 0;

Please have the program send a error message to stderr as to what was
bothering it.
