After cron job run, users may got an mail.
Is it possible let cron don't send mail?
Thanks.

Best solution would be to take out the mail command in the job run by cron.

Hi,
is the mail sent by the application ?
If yes, stop the application from sending the mail.
What does the mail say ?

Hi,
First check your cron entries by
Crontab -l

then now you dont want mails then just remove that mail activity from file by editing the crontab by command
crontab -e

Regards,

Hi:

If I understand correctly, you *don't* want users to receive mail from crontasks. If your task produces either STDOUT or STDERR output that isn't redirected to a file, 'cron' generates an email to the user.

If this is the case, redirect the descriptor that you don't want: STDERR=2 and STDOUT=1.

Regards!
