Question

Javan’s Whenever gem for Ruby on Rails is fantastic, however, I’m having one issue with it, namely that it sends whatever output I’ve logged to /var/mail/user, which I don’t want to receive. Does anyone know how to turn this off?

Thanks,

Harris

Whenever allows also to direct standard output and errors differently, for example to /dev/null if you don’t want any mail or logging. For details, see: https://github.com/javan/whenever/wiki/Output-redirection-aka-logging-your-cron-jobs
