CentOS - Sep 2006 - To redirect any message into /dev/null

Hi all,
I'm running a script in my crontab like this:
*/50 * * * * /root/scripts/keepjobrun 2>&1 > /dev/null

However, crontab always sends a message to root (me) about the above script.
How do I stop it from sending any notification?
Thank you very much,

Scold it with your left index finger 3 times. Not less than 3, unless
counting to three slowly, 1, 2, 3, hurl the Holy Chicken of Antioch and say
bad, bad, bad crontab script and read it the KJV Bible starting in the New
Testament with the book of James.

Then,

Disabling email: If any output is produced by a command executed from a
crontab, the cron daemon will normally email the user that output.

To silence any particular command, you may redirect its output to /dev/null.


To stop receiving email output from crontab, append the following to any
command. This will redirect stdout to null while redirecting stderr to
stdout, so you receive no errors if they occur: 
>/dev/null 2>&1
Under the commonly used Vixie cron, you can also turn off email notification
for all of a particular user's cronjobs by adding this line to the beginning
of their crontab: 

MAILTO=""

Or, try

or various other things...

thanks and kind regards!

Oh I forgot, I do it this way too, you may need a second chicken for this
one though.

0,15,30,45 * * * * /usr/local/sbin/somescript 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null
