how are you running the job? is it being run via cron? is it the cron
facility that's causing you problems?

if it's the output from the job itself that's causing you problems, you
can redirect stdout (and stderr if you want) to /dev/null; ie:

/home/you/bin/somescript > /dev/null 2>&1
(stdout and stderr to /dev/null)

/home/you/bin/somescript > /dev/null
(ignore stdout)

perhaps you could give some more specifics though, as the previous
poster suggested?
