While trying to determine why my Mythfilldatabase and Mythmetadata are not
running properly I was reviewing the latest logs and stumbled onto the following error under the cron.0.log.
Code:

Everytime cron.tenminutes runs there is an error that follows:
Code:
unable to exec /dev/null: cron output for user root /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.tenminutes to /dev/null
Not sure if this is a big deal, but I thought I would raise the questions. You can also see that the cron.hourly runs just fine.
