Cronjob Sends Email - Every 5 Minutes

[dgerman]

I knew (especially as a new installation with very little activity)

I didn't want to set cron job running every 5 minutes.

Now I know (at least) one reason why, I am getting an email every time it runs!
 

 

subject:Cron <realger1@slmp-550-13> /usr/bin/php /home2/realger1/public_html/aicv/support/public_html/index.php cron

Because you didn't tell cron not to.

 

I would append the following the the end to receive only error emails.

 

> /dev/null

This isn't a bug btw, this is the expected results. So it makes sense to set it back to run every 5mins and send the emails to /dev/null (aka black hole)
