Output is normally not generated.  It's only generated in case of an
error.  Since it is executed by cron (<== /etc/crontab) it would be
sent to the account denoted by MAILTO= in said file.  If you haven't
changed anything that'll be the root account whose mail is probably
forwarded to your user account or something.

man cron, man crontab, man run-parts, Debian tutorial.
