    There are 2 ways:

    1) su - root -c "crontab -e"
        put in the crontab:
    MAILTO=""
    /home/ffsearch/online_check.pl > /dev/null

    If ffsearch is a user and you script has not to be run as root, then
    create the cronjob for the user with something like:
    su - ffsearch -c "crontab -e"
    For solution 1) delete the entry in /etc/crontab.

    2) Modify the entry in /etc/crontab to be:
    /home/ffsearch/online_check.pl > /dev/null 2>1&

    I prefer to not put everything in /etc/crontab but to use user crontab
    files which are stored in /var/spool/cron/. Or placing jobs with the
    proper syntax in /etc/cron.d/.
