Description Patrick 2015-11-02 00:37:00 UTC
I've run 'layman -S -q' as cronjob for years, but recently, after I removed and then re-added an overlay ('sunrise' in case it matters), it started to output a newline per repository, even though '-q' should make it 'quiet'. Because of these newlines, I now get an e-mail from cron every night, that contains no content.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. layman -a sunrise
2. layman -S
See that there are several lines of output, including three empty lines to separate sections of the output.
3. layman -S -q
Actual Results:  
See that there are still three empty lines, even though the command should have run quietly:

box cron.daily # layman -S -q



box cron.daily #

Expected Results:  
layman should run without any output to stdout.
