Hi list,
I have a cron task set up using lockf.
I'd like to redirect one exit status to /dev/null :
"it (lockf command) returns one of the exit codes defined in
      sysexits(3), as follows:
      EX_TEMPFAIL   The specified lock file was already locked by another
                    process.
      EX_CANTCREAT  The lockf utility was unable to create the lock 
file, e.g.,
                    because of insufficient access privileges.
      EX_USAGE      There was an error on the lockf command line.
      EX_OSERR      A system call (e.g., fork(2)) failed unexpectedly.
      EX_SOFTWARE   The command did not exit normally, but may have been 
sig-
                    naled or stopped."
I don't care about the EX_TEMPFAIL output as I consider it as a 
successful exit status, not an error.
I there a trick to do that in a short way ?
