Subject: [cobalt-users] Cron notice


How do I tell a cron job not to email me every time the script is ran?  I
have a script for some stats for a baseball team that I am getting the
results of every time the script is ran.  What can I do to not have the
results email to me?
------------------------------

Generally, a cron script will mail you something if the script
tries to write output to STDOUT or STDERR. Such output has no
other place to go. You could modify the cron script to write
such output to a file or a device, perhaps /dev/null if
you really don't want to see the output ever.
