Hullo there,
I'm trying to prevent a very simple script in cron.hourly from sending mail when it executes.
The script consists of
mount -a > /dev/null
I hoped the output would be directed to a black hole, but it sends a mail every hour as below.
/etc/cron.hourly/checkmounts: mount: knossos:/home already mounted or /nfshome busy mount: xios:/home already mounted or /nfshome-xios busy run-parts: /etc/cron.hourly/checkmounts exited with return code 32
Is the only way to prevent mail output to make the script more complicated with exit codes and whatnot?
Thanks,
Jenny
