What is >/dev/null 2>&1 in Crontab's Cron Job
If you use cron job on Linux, some times you want to ignore the output of the command you executed.
This can be done by adding "> /dev/null 2>&1" behind the cron job command.
"/dev/null" is just redirect all the output to /dev/null which in Linux means we don’t care with the output. |
