export log file [message #73117]

I regularly run full database export and use LOG=alpha.log� The export messages display on the screen and if I run this as a cron job, it prints out in the mail file for the user. Is there a way to create the LOG file but NOT have it display on the screen or in the mail file?�Thanks very much, Denise.

you have to redirect the output to somwhere in the cron.
here i have redirected to /backup

bash-2.03$ crontab -l
# minute
# |  hour
# |  &#124day of month
# |  | | month
# |  | | | day of week 0=sunday
# |  | | | 
##################business systems daily export ####################################
0 19 * * * /backup/exp_kronos > /backup/l/l8 2>&1
0 19 * * * /backup/exphrt > /backup/l/l6 2>&1

Thanks for your response. What effect would this redirection have:
0 19 * * * /backup/exphrt 2>&1 >/dev/null

I have used this on other jobs and thought that it's effect was to take care of the output. But since I'm learning this on my own I could be misunderstanding something.
Thanks again for your help.

u are asking the cron to redirect and write the output messages or session display to the file instead of displaying it in the screen or writing it to the mail file.
