Took the advice and now the output goes to logfiles, most of it to the stderr file for some reason. At least crontab is finally quiet again.
It would be better though if osm2pgsql did implement a quiet option so we'd receive error messages via e-mail from crontab for better reaction times when errors do come up. - Svavar Kjarrval
