I have also tried
0-59/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/krypos &> /dev/null
But I still get the email every 5 minutes.
That did not happen on my old computer.
How do I stop this?
The actual redirect should be 2>&1
Yes, or specify "#!/bin/bash" when using bashisms.
Alternatively, putting the line:
MAILTO=""
before any crontab actions has served me well to stop cron sending mail
in the first place, obviating the need to intercept it afterwards.
