Cron jobs email their output after each run. Set the address where these messages should go, or stop them.

Steps

  1. Log in to cPanel (for example at https://yourdomain.com:2083, or from the Ucartz client area).
  2. Open Advanced › Cron Jobs.
  3. Under Cron Email, enter the address and click Update Email.

If a job has nothing to report, no email is sent.

Tip: To stop emails from one job only, add >/dev/null 2>&1 to the end of its command. To send its output to a file instead, use >> /home/USERNAME/cron.log 2>&1.
