Hey, to be fair: $ man 5 crontab Since the one he'll get by default (1) won't be very helpful. :) D -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

I'm not sure if your problem was solved, but here's my solution: 0 0 * * * /usr/whatever/program >/dev/null 2>/dev/null The first >/dev/null sends all regular output (stdout) to the null-device. The 2>/dev/null sends all errormessages (errout) to the null-device, thus eliminating all messages; you will never receive one character again.
