Cron / Crontab – disable e-mail notifications

There are 2 ways to prevent cron to send out e-mail notifications after jobs are run:

1. Ensure there are no output from the script(s) being run by sending the output to /dev/null
   Simply append one of the following directives to the end of your script.

   >/dev/null 2>&1.

   OR

   &> /dev/null

   Your crontab would now look something like:

   0 1 5 10 * /path/to/script.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

   OR

   0 1 5 10 * /path/to/script.sh &> /dev/null
