Disable cron notification from SSH

[Vs Nu]

My mail queue is almost frozen mails with over 7k to 10k All mails are related to cron notification

i went to cP > Cron job and i can see the cron notification Email was updated with the cPanel username which is causing the issue

How can i disable the cron notification on bulk for all accounts by removing the cpanel username mentioned in cron notification page

Hey @Vs Nu

Can you let me know what cron notification that was? It would be helpful to know if this was a custom user cron that was setup or something that is a system cron.

It was showing the cPanel username which is causing the issue.It should be

Current Email
(None)

How to set this for all the cPanel accounts from root SSH any commands

Currently, there's no way to manage this "by default", this feature is requested but still open for discussion.

For now I believe the only workaround to stop cron email notification is to add the following at the end of the line for each cron job to redirect output to /dev/null.
>/dev/null 2>&1

Thanks for the details. There isn't an automated way to add or change the email at once for all domains, but you could set up a valid email by editing /var/spool/cron/$username for each user directly, which may be quicker than logging into cPanel for each account.

If you just wanted to disable the notifications completely, adding the line that @kodeslogic mentions would work.

As we need to do it for morethan 100+ users so we need to do it manually as it was creating more mails like 20k per day

I had taken the cp username and stored in cron.txt and made an command to do on all the user's cron file which is sending out more emails

for i in `cat cron.txt`; do echo 'MAILTO=""' >> /var/spool/cron/$i ;done
