Output from build and deploy actions goes to stderr #3605

Closed agmlego closed 2 years ago

agmlego commented 2 years ago

Environment

Python 3.7.3 Nikola v8.2.0 Debian 10.11

Description:

The output from nikola build and nikola deploy is sent to stderr instead of stdout, so the cronjob output fills my email with spurious alerts. It would be better from a sysadmin perspective to be able to do the conventional nikola build > /dev/null redirection and thus only get an email when there is actually a problem, instead of "Scanning posts........done!" ad nauseum.

It is appropriate for processes to send status information and logs to stderr. To solve your crontab issues, just use nikola build > /dev/null 2>&1.
