[SOLVED] redirecting output of cron job

qrange · 10-11-2011, 03:33 AM

I have a simple script to monitor the CPU temperature and need it to run in cron.
it should send output to a file and not send email.

I've tried the following:

Code:

27 * * * * /home/djordje/bin/CPUt >> /home/djordje/CPUtemp.log  > /dev/null 2>&1

but it doesn't work. how to solve it?

thanks.

Hello,

Why using this ?

/dev/null 2>&1

Make it like below:

Code:

27 * * * * /home/djordje/bin/CPUt >> /home/djordje/CPUtemp.log

well, maybe redirecting all output to a file instead of /dev/null will do the work

Code:

27 * * * * /home/djordje/bin/CPUt 2>&1 >> /home/djordje/CPUtemp.log
