Eliminating CRON mail notification.

Everyone is familiar with the mail notifications received from cron jobs running on your system. Is there a way in HPUX v11 to stop them from being sent to roots mailbox everytime, and if so does the same hold true for AT? I have currently set the cron standard output mail to be redirected to /dev/null, but I was trying to find away to turn it off completely.
You can learn from anyone, if you listen.
