How to redirect the output of an command executed with dbclient on a remote server?

[Matt Johnston]

What commandline are you running? If it works by hand but
not from a script then that suggests that it might be that the
program needs a TTY to run properly - you could try running
"dbclient -t" in the cronjob?

Testing here redirecting output seems to work as below (the shell is
zsh). I've added -T to be similar to how a cronjob would run.

evil:~/src/dropbear ./dbclient -T localhost find /etc/lvm > /dev/null
