	Yes that will keep cron from sending mail. But in general commands
run by cron should not produce any output to stdout or stderr unless there
is a problem. So maybe the script needs to be changed so it does not produce
any output unless there is an error. Then you will get mail and know you
need to check it.

add '1&2>/dev/null' to the end of the commandline of the cron job.
