Hi,
We have a number of jobs that run from cron. We produce logs of these jobs
with the redirect (>) symbol. It appears that cron is also sending the
output to the mail account of the owner of the cron. I was told that if we
redirect output to /dev/null then we won't get the e-mail anymore but we
need to continue to produce the logs. Is there a way to have cron still
redirect its output to a file AND not send mail?
Here's an example of our syntax:
02,17,32,47 * * * * /home/oracle/check_db_link.sh >
/home/oracle/logs/check_db_link.log 2>&1
Thanks!
Andy
