cronjob emails me script errors

[Blaqb0x]

Hi,

Im running a bash script through cron. it executes a perls script that usually have insignificant errors that I don't care about. however it keeps emailing them to me. I've set up the bash script like this

perl myscript.pl >> /dev/null

but I still get emails with errors from the perl script.

any ideas?

thanx,

You are only redirecting stdout - you want to send stderr to /dev/null

perl myscript.pl 2> /dev/null

perl myscript.pl 2> /dev/null[/quote]
you might actually want > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
or > /dev/null 2>&1
or &> /dev/null

all those do the same thing and that is send both stdout and stderr to /dev/null
