[cobalt-users] Cron not working right



Hello list,
Strange problem here..  Our crontab seems to not act properly..

Let's say I have the following line in my crontab:
00 * * * * /bin/sh /path/to/some/script.sh >
/home/sites/www.domain.com/logs/cronlog.txt

Now, shouldn't that OVERRIDE the auto email that gets sent to root when
there is output from the script, and send all output to the file I specified
instead of email?  That's what I learned from all resources I've checked so
far, but it doesn't seem to work on our RAQ4R....  I still get the email,
and the logfile is 0 bytes in size..  The directories do exist, and it's
running from the root crontab, so it has permission to write anywhere...
I've looked for an answer, but seem to just get more and more confused..
Any one have any thoughts?  Maybe a bug in the crontab?  Or am I missing
something all together...

Thank you in advance list!
