Not sure what is expected here. Those are not monitored to allow the usage of /dev/null (so don't report any message).

Hi Bruno,
that an error will be logged about the failed command, because failing without log will be unfavorable.

Hello, we will not proceed to any changes in that specific tool, bsmtp (due to smtp communication) will return nothing if success. which means if you don't received an expected email, you will have to check your command.
