multiple-command cron jobs without emails?

[dchmelik]

I do many cron jobs like below.

0 0 * * * command1 && command2 && command3 && command4 && command5 1> /dev/null 2>&1

Obviously I don't want their emails but apparently first four email, I guess not fifth. Is there a way to stop emails other than '1> /dev/null 2>&1' at end of every command?

I'd put all of those commands you've strung together into a script, and execute the script.

OpenBSD's cron(8) man page says:

Any output produced by a command is sent to the user specified in the MAILTO environment variable as set in the crontab(5) file or, if no MAILTO variable is set (or if this is an at(1) or batch(1) job), to the job's owner. If a command produces no output or if the MAILTO environment variable is set to the empty string, no mail will be sent. The exception to this is at(1) or batch(1) jobs submitted with the -m flag. In this case, mail will be sent even if the job produces no output.

One thing to remember is that the MAILTO variable will be used in all subsequent cron jobs

MAILTO=""
0 0 * * * command1 && command2 && command3 && command4 && command5 
1 1 * * * command1 && command2 && command3
MAILTO=root
2 2 * * * command1 && command2

In this example the first two jobs will not produce any emails. In order to get an email for the third job, you will have to set MAILTO again.
To prevent this I find it easier is to move all the no-email-wanted jobs to the end:

MAILTO=root
2 2 * * * command1 && command2
MAILTO=""
0 0 * * * command1 && command2 && command3 && command4 && command5 
1 1 * * * command1 && command2 && command3
