how to stop cron.hourly mailings

[Romeo Theriault]

Yes, you've misunderstood. I still want the command to run. I just  
don't want to get the mail, reporting that it ran. I also have the  
script file in the cron.hourly folder. It's not actually in a crontab  
file.

With the lead of Gavin McDonald I went with adding  /dev/null 2>&1 to  
the end of the script.

Thank you everyone for your help.
