It's been a while, but I think it only sends email if there is any stdout or stderr. So redirect them to /dev/null echo 'command line >/dev/null 2>&1' | at now+5 minutes is how I do it for at. I think you can do the same for cron. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
