Details

Description:
The abs script puts all its output in STDERR, while it should only put errors in STDERR, and all other (informational) output should go to STDOUT.

This prevents setups like these:

abs > /dev/null

and if any errors would occur by the abs script itself, you'd still see them. An example application is running the abs script in a cronjob.

This bug was found because of  FS#10622 

Additional info:
* package version(s): 2.1-1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
Run abs > /dev/null, and informational messages are still being shown.
