[arm-allstar] &> /dev/null 2>&1

[Doug Crompton]

The "&> /dev/null 2>&1"  means run the job in the background and dump all log output to /dev/null instead of logging it.  For testing you may not want to do that but once it works it is a good idea.

Subject: [arm-allstar] &> /dev/null 2>&1

I have a question about the subject. On my acid boxes I noticed my mailbox getting very full. A friend pointed out that I was adding things to the cron and if I put that it would not create a message. 
On my BBB I just figured cron issues out. Do I need to add the above subject as well? I don't want to jam up my BBB little micro sd card...
I've never noticed BBB telling me I have new messages so I wasn't sure if it was a moot point on the BBB.
