Hi there,

Nope, nothing wrong at all. As Doug Barton points out elsewhere on this
list 'Why should there be?'.
Also, The Bat Book II [see footnote] says (on page 373) when talking
about the un-adorned '-q' option:-
This mode can be run interactively from the command-line or in
the background via cron(8).
So, I'd say go for it. (Oh, and buy _and_read_ the Bat Book II).
