Description Kevin Matzdorf 2003-11-05 01:42:32 AEDT

sftp prints "Connecting to x.x.x.x..." on stderr, even when in batch
mode, therefore making it annoying to use in a cron script, if
you'd like to get mailed stderr output if there is an error, but not
every time it runs.

It would be nice if sftp either didn't print this message while in
batch mode, or if there was a option to suppress it.
