+Description: Run a command, hiding its output in a logfile unless it fails
+ The hush program is useful for running noisy programs from cron or similar,
+ where you get spammed with uninteresting success reports.  hush runs a
+ command, logging its output, but, unless the command actually fails, it
+ produces no output of its own.
