The same user crontabs (that run every 5 minutes) that were used on my
old computer (Debian) now (on Ubuntu Hardy) produce an email for
every run.
Here is an example of one of them:
# m h dom mon dow command
0-59/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/krypos
$ cat /usr/local/bin/krypos
#!/bin/sh
killall fetchmail &> /dev/null
/usr/bin/fetchmail &> /dev/null
I have also tried
0-59/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/krypos &> /dev/null
But I still get the email every 5 minutes.
That did not happen on my old computer.
How do I stop this?
Regards
Johann

healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from
destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and
tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good
things; so that thy youth is renewed like the
eagle's." Psalms 103:2-5
