I've dedicated this morning to understanding crontab. I am finally beginning to get it.

I set a cron on a file called stats.pl .. stats.pl is a perl script that looks at my gameserver logs and generates stats.

whenever i run ./stats.pl , it generates an error for each line it doesn't recognize .. usually there are a few errors but they're more like warnings .. it doesn't mean anything.

so here is my problem. The cronjob runs every half hour .. and it works great , but i get emailed all the errors that occur durring the stats.pl script. is there a way to make it so the system doesn't email me when errors occur within the stats.pl script itself?
