Howdy,
I set up a hard drive to backup my emails, world file, /etc and a couple
other things. I been doing it manually but finally set up a cron job to
run it automatically. I call it a script but some may laugh at me
calling it that. Anyway, I got cron to run it just fine. It runs and
copies

Keep in mind, I do not want to disable ALL emails, just this one
script. How does one disable emails for this one cron job? Do I have a
typo or putting it in wrong place maybe? Everything I found shows this
should work but obviously I'm doing something wrong.

This seems to be working. Since I added the null bit to the script
itself, it hasn't sent a email. I don't know if it will if it fails
but I still have weekly backups as well.
