Undesired Output of Crontab Job Using CURL
- by Russell C.
I have written a perl script that runs as a daily crontab job that uploads files to Amazon S3 via CURL. I want the output of the cron job emailed to me which works fine but I don't want that email to include messages related to the CURL upload (only those message my script is outputting). Here are the CURL related messages I'm seeing in the daily email right now:

I am using a simple Perl system() call to invoke CURL. Does anyone know what command line argument I can supply CURL to turn off the reporting of the upload progress?
Thanks in advance for your help!
