I'm a bit puzzled, I have this in my /etc/sysconfig/cron: SYSLOG_ON_NO_ERROR="no" SEND_MAIL_ON_NO_ERROR="no"

My "problematic" script is updating my AV, the cron script is this: 49 */2 * * * root /opt/eset/nod32/sbin/nod32_update 2>&1 > /dev/null

Still, I get a mail from each and every update, successful or not. If I run '/opt/eset/nod32/sbin/nod32_update 2>&1 > /dev/null' manually, I don't get any output whatsoever to the screen, so what's going on here?

I don't know, but if you want to simplify it, 2>&1 >/dev/null can be shortened to &> /dev/null
