dbclient from crontab?

[Matt Johnston]

Hi,

-t won't work without a terminal, so that makes sense. If
you redirect input of the command as:

DROPBEAR_PASSWORD=hello1234 dbclient hostname command < /dev/zero

Does that work? It's a bit of a hack workaround, I need to
figure what's going on properly.

Cheers,
Matt
