papaschtroumpf Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 (edited) I'm running a few nightly cron jobs as a user. YoSucker and GotMail are verbose and cause extra mail to be sent to the user account. I tried piping the standard output to /dev/nul in the crontab but I get "permission denied". What's the proper way to redirect the standard output in a cron job so that I only get an email if errors occured?

papaschtroumpf Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 well, it helps if you spell null with 2 l's in your cron job :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
