Issue
-----

*   Cron job fails
*   Drush command fails

Error includes:

    [Symfony\Component\Console\Exception\RuntimeException]
    The "-d" option does not exist.

Resolution
----------

The command is using the combined flag \-dv, which is no longer valid for verbose debugging. To resolve, update the command to use either \-d -v or \-vvv  
  
Example:

    /usr/local/bin/drush --uri=http://example.prod.acquia-sites.com --root=/var/www/html/${AH_SITE_NAME}/docroot -d -v cron
