Hi
'man 5 crontab' give :
Command output is mailed to the crontab owner
It is why you have root emails...(root backups are provided from
security scripts (from daily))

Hi All,
This is a very minor issue, and I could possibly have missed
something in the
documentation since I do not see people asking this question on the
mailing
lists. So if someone could point me in the right direction it would
be really
appreciated.
I am using OpenBSD 5.2 on a number of hosts, and all works great. I
have
daily.local setup as follows:
--------------------------------------------------
cat /etc/daily.local
ROOTBACKUP=1
VERBOSESTATUS=0
--------------------------------------------------
Normal daily output is not emailed, however because I do have
ROOTBACKUP=1 I
get daily emails about root backups as shown below:
--------------------------------------------------
OpenBSD 5.2 (GENERIC.MP) #368: Wed Aug 1 10:04:49 MDT 2012

fragmentation)
MARK FILE SYSTEM CLEAN? yes
***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
--------------------------------------------------
The reason that I am getting this output makes sense, since the daily
manpage
states:
--------------------------------------------------
If set to 0, df(1), dump(8), netstat(1), and ruptime(1)
are skipped. Consequently, if none of the other
commands produce any output, no mail will be sent to
root.
--------------------------------------------------
So what would be the correct way to instruct the rootbackup process
not to
produce output unless something is wrong?
Thank you!
