How to silence cron output e-mails?

[spitfire]

Hi,

I'm using onetimedns.net for my dynamic DNS needs, and I have e-mail reporting set-up.
As suggested on the site, I've added an entry to cron to perform these updates every 15 minutes:

Code:

00,15,30,45 * * * * /usr/local/bin/curl "https://onetimedns.net/set?name=myhostname&secret=mypassword"

Unfortunately I'm getting e-mails, whenever the command is ran.
So far I've tried changing it to:

Code:

00,15,30,45 * * * * /usr/local/bin/curl "https://onetimedns.net/set?name=myhostname&secret=mypassword" > /dev/null

Code:

00,15,30,45 * * * * /usr/local/bin/curl "https://onetimedns.net/set?name=myhostname&secret=mypassword" &> /dev/null

Code:

00,15,30,45 * * * * /usr/local/bin/curl -s "https://onetimedns.net/set?name=myhostname&secret=mypassword"

And I'm still getting an e-mail with the output.
How can I get rid of it?

Is the cron task set to run as 'nobody'? Are the redirect options checked?

I've added it manually via 'crontab -e'. Thanks for the hint - I forgot I could add it from the GUI - which is what I'll do now..

Try to set MAILTO="" variable at the start of your crontab file.

Setting the con job via GUI was enough to get it working without notification about the results every time it runs.
