https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/cron-email/m-p/2666657#M1142 I am using Mandrake 8.1 and part of it's job is as a postfix mail server. I am running fetchmail in cron to retrieve email from various accounts. However, whenever the cronjob runs it emails me the log file as root. This is not a major problem but it is annoying. How can I stop cron from mailing me it's log everytime it runs this command?<BR /><BR />Thanks in advance,<BR /><BR />Christian Briddon Mon, 18 Feb 2002 15:40:19 GMT Christian Briddon 2002-02-18T15:40:19Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/cron-email/m-p/2666657#M1142 I am using Mandrake 8.1 and part of it's job is as a postfix mail server.
