[vox-tech] STDOUT and /dev/null

[Richard S. Crawford]

I've got some scripts which run every five minutes via cron.  The crontab
entry looks like this:

*/5 * * * * wget -q http://our.server.com/admin/cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1

As I understand it, this should be directing any output from cron.php to
/dev/null.  It doesn't, however, and my root directory fills up very
quickly with output files from the script.

Am I missing something here?
