email - Linux: Crontab Job without Interfering with Sys Admin's Jobs? -
i need create new crontab job in redhat linux environment. have sudo access don't think can on system--some higher level sys admins, example, disable firewall changes make.
so here crontab command:
crontab e
and brings screen like:
33 2 * * * /usr/bin/cu-firewall update > /dev/null 2>&1 30 1 * * * /root/update_atbi_website > /dev/null 0 4 * * * /home/prov356/scripts/opnforumbackup
i want not send email , have done in local vm:
mailto="" # execute 15 minute */15 * * * * perl /db_xenia/pl/get_usgs.pl
question: if append above existing crontab info prevent sending of emails sys admin too? don't want trouble! perhaps, append /dev/null after perl commands?
thanks.
never mind: per @basile's comment, didn't need sudo. logged in non-sudo , ran crontab -e
; time there no sys admin entries. entered own configs, saved, , cronjob seems running fine.
thanks.
