Yes, you've misunderstood. I still want the command to run. I just
don't want to get the mail, reporting that it ran. I also have the
script file in the cron.hourly folder. It's not actually in a crontab
file.
With the lead of Gavin McDonald I went with adding /dev/null 2>&1 to
the end of the script.
Thank you everyone for your help.

Yes that will keep cron from sending mail. But in general commands
run by cron should not produce any output to stdout or stderr
unless there
is a problem. So maybe the script needs to be changed so it does
not produce
any output unless there is an error. Then you will get mail and
know you
need to check it.

add '1&2>/dev/null' to the end of the commandline of the cron job.

Subject: how to stop cron.hourly mailings
I have a script that runs hourly in my cron.hourly folder. I get a
message every hour showing it's output. How can I stop just this one
script from mailing me every hour? Is there a way I can just stop it
or could I also get it to just mail me once a day?
Thanks,
Romeo
