27 Oh fine, that works:
28
29 restart_result=`/etc/init.d/boinc --nocolor restart`
30 /usr/bin/echo -e "$restart_result" | /root/bin/mail "check chroots"
31 cron-Oberon
32
33 gives:
34
35 * Service boinc stopping
36 * Service boinc stopped
37 * Service boinc starting
38 * Service boinc started
39
40 instead of
41
42 * Service boinc stopping
43 * Service boinc stopped
44 * Service boinc starting
45 * Service boinc started
