Hi Managers,

TRU64 5.1

I have tried to redirect the output from cron to /dev/null for a couple
of jobs that run frequently during the day. I can't seem to get it to
work and I am being bombarded with mails that are of no use.

I have tried the following in the root crontab:

chown -R images /images/hires/*.jpg >& /dev/null
chown -R images /images/hires/*.jpg /dev/null 2>&1

Neither have worked. I am still getting the following message when
there is no file to chown. Is there some way to avoid this?
Thanx.
Dp.

chown: /images/hires/*.jpg: No such file or directory

*************************************************
Cron: The previous message is the standard output
      and standard error of the following crontab command:

chown -R images /usr2/images/dump_hires/*.jpg /dev/null 2>&1
