Re: Cron-Output

Hi,

If you don't want to receive mail from cron, add at the end of each cron job
1>/dev/null 2>&1
i.g

10 12 * * * /usr/local/bin/job1 1>/dev/null 2>&1

Re: Cron-Output

Just an additional comment..
Or you could redirect the output of your cron scripts to a log file as follows,

10 08,20 * * * /usr/local/bin/myscript >> /var/adm/log/sendmail.log 2>&1
