How to Disable Cron Email
Cron is a scheduling system on Linux that is used to setup automated, repeated task schedules for things such as system maintenance, restarting services and other tasks. By default, Cron sends email alerts when tasks are performed, which can get overwhelming if you have a lot of tasks that repeat often. However, you can disable Cron emails by editing your Crontab file, where your user account settings are located.
