Most toaster related commands in /etc/crontab have "2>&1 > /dev/null" at the end. This redirects stderr to wherever stdout was going (normally email to whatever's specified in the MAILTO= parameter), then sends stdout to /dev/null (the proverbial bit bucket). This way errors are reported, but normal messages are tossed out.

If you want all output (normal message and errors) to go to /dev/null, you need to redirect stdout first, then redirect stderr to stdout:
">/dev/null 2>&1"

(Richard missed the "&")

In the crontab, add behind the command: 1>/dev/null 2>1
