find_outdated_services --auto command reported error number 255 when it ended.

[/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/find_outdated_services] The "/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/find_outdated_services --auto" command (process 16662) reported error number 255 when it ended.

I ran find_outdated_services manually to see the output:
