[mythtv-users] Anyone using in crontab?

[nospam312]

you can try adding ">
> /tmp/thiscronjob.log 2>&1" after the command in the crontab.

Very confused now.

After adding "> /tmp/output.log 2>&1" everything works, if I remove it
it stops working again.  Does anyone have any idea why this is the
case?  output.log never contains anything.

I have added "/dev/null 2>&1" now to keep things tidy and everything
works but have no idea why adding this or the above makes it work.

Does anyone know why and when you need to add this type of statement
to a cronjob entry?

TIA
