Last I checked, those are controlled by using command line switches, 
which means that anyone invoking them knows what they're invoking 
because it's specified on the command line, therefore all info it 
currently provides in the non-error case is info you should already 
have.  I have no issue with it spitting out errors if something goes 
wrong, but it's just annoying having output that provides no information 
that isn't already known when everything goes right (think atd, cron, 
and almost any other periodic or deferred scheduling system).
