How can I stop email messages from cron and at

[mike worrell]

Ever since we went to HPUX 11.0, everytime cron or at runs something I get an email. How can I stop this?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,
by man crontab:

WARNINGS
Be sure to redirect the standard output and standard error from
commands. If this is not done, any generated standard output or
standard error is mailed to the user.

You probably aren't redirecting output to /dev/null or to a log file.

post your crontab entries

crontab -l

live free or die

crontab -e

* * * * * ${command} > /dev/null 2>&1

Thanks to all for your help.
I did the item Doug suggested and they stopped. Weird , my job in cron hasn't changed in years and never sent anything to email until 11.0 upgrade.. It's fixed now.
Many thanks to all.

Mike
