3. Information about the chronic package on openSuSE Tumbleweed

Information for package chronic:
--------------------------------
Repository : openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss
Name : chronic
Version : 0.68-1.2
Arch : noarch

Summary : Runs a command quietly unless it fails
Description :
chronic runs a command, and arranges for its standard out and standard
error to only be displayed if the command fails (exits nonzero or crashes).
If the command succeeds, any extraneous output will be hidden.
A common use for chronic is for running a cron job. Rather than
trying to keep the command quiet, and having to deal with mails containing
accidental output when it succeeds, and not verbose enough output when it
fails, you can just run it verbosely always, and use chronic to hide
the successful output.
