iTools System Updates have been applied, through Q30020404, then
sudo /System/Library/StartupItems/Cron/Cron stop
sudo /System/Library/StartupItems/Cron/Cron start
With the added "-update > /dev/null 2>&1"
since there is no stdout or stderr, cron does not email anything,
but there is still an entry each time in /var/log/system.log, such as:
Apr 30 16:40:00 ripples CRON[1349]: (www) CMD (/Library/Tenon/WebLog/cgi-
bin/awstats.pl
-config=www.staudenheimer.com
-logfile=/Library/Tenon/WebServer/Logs/www.staudenheimer.com.access_log
-update > /dev/null 2>&1)
