Hi and mtia

I have several machines that I have configured to do time updates once every hour. These machines have no external interfaces and sync time using ntpdate to an internal domain controller. We also have all of roots mail forwarded to an email account, and as you could guess with 10+ servers all updating time once an hour I am now getting flooded with cron time update emails.

So I am asking is there a way for me to turn off logging for specific cron jobs? I have the job configured by a bash script under cron.hourly.

Thanks again.

PS: And can this be done without a reboot? Thanks again.

Just redirect standard output to /dev/null. e.g.One comment: if you have an ntp server on your network, you might just run an ntp daemon on each of your computers. It's more accurate than ntpdate and puts out less packets onto the network (at the expense of cpu usage on each computer).

Aaaah yes /dev/null.. didn't even think about that. Thanks Berhanie, this way even saves me the reboot. Thanks again.
