Adding >/dev/null

[thms-k]

Hi,
I'd like to use cron-job.org to run the mandatory cron job of a moodle instance.

The docs suggest to add >/dev/null to the command when using crontab to avoid getting a mail every minute. I once forgot to add that and ran out of space on the server after some time because of that many mails.

So, is it possible to add >/dev/null to a command?

Thanks!
Thomas

You don't need this with cron-job.org, since we're not mailing the output. The output will be stored briefly on our servers (for execution history), but not on yours. That note in the Moodle docs only applies to 'traditional' cron jobs ran via cron daemon on your own server.
