Bucher) Newsgroups: comp.unix.questions,comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc,comp.unix.bsd.misc Subject: Cron Daemon's mails Date: 27 Jun 1995 20:26:45 GMT Organization: Michigan Technological University Lines: 11 Message-ID: <3sppi5$6ap@news.mtu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: pacemaker.cts.mtu.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] I have a script in root's crontab that kills idle processes. Sometimes it kills a process that was killed when the script killed it's parent (follow me so far?). Cron then emails root that it couldn't kill the process that had already exited. How do I stop the cron from emailing about it? redirection won't work because it deals with only stdout and stderr (right?). Thanks, Boo
