Previously, the omd service crontab would raise an exception, if the site user did not have access to crontab.

Starting crontab...You (site2) are not allowed to use this program (crontab)
See crontab(1) for more information
Exception ignored in: <_io.TextIOWrapper name='<stdout>' mode='w' encoding='utf-8'>
BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
failed

This exception was harmless, but has been fixed nonetheless. The new output looks like this:

Starting crontab...You (site2) are not allowed to use this program (crontab)
See crontab(1) for more information
failed
