While trying to determine why my Mythfilldatabase and Mythmetadata are not running properly I was reviewing the latest logs and stumbled onto the following error under the cron.0.log.

Code:

Everytime cron.tenminutes runs there is an error that follows:
Code:
 unable to exec /dev/null: cron output for user root /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.tenminutes to /dev/null

Not sure if this is a big deal, but I thought I would raise the questions. You can also see that the cron.hourly runs just fine.

It's because the system doesn't have a mail program installed or configured.
It's on my list of things to fix, but if you can add it to the bug tracker it would be helpful
