cron-output-hider

Use in crontabs in front of the real program to hide program output unless there is an error.

Example Usage

A typical crontab entry might look like this:

4 * * * * some-random-job.sh

If some-random-job.sh generates output, you will see it every time the script runs. But if you only want to see the output when the script fails, you can run it through cron-output-hider like this:

4 * * * * cron-output-hider -- some-random-job.sh

Now you'll only get the cron job email when it fails.
