https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=237538 Bug ID: 237538 Summary: [patch] cron: add log suppression and mail suppression for successful runs Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: freebsd@t.lastninja.net Created attachment 203978 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=203978&action=edit Add crontab support for -q (log suppression) and -n (mail suppression for successful run). I would like to see FreeBSD provide the crontab extensions found in OpenBSD that implement `-n` to suppress mail on successful run and ``q` to suppress logging of command execution. The `-q` option appears decades old, but the `-n` is relatively new. The original proposal by Job Snijder can be found here [1], and gives very convincing reasons for inclusion in base. This patch is a nearly identical port of OpenBSD cron for `-q` and `-n` features. It is written to follow existing conventions and style of the existing codebase. I'm also not good at writing manpages but I gave it my best shot.
