Hello,

I've set up a series of crontab scripts that updates a web page with
system information for a cluster of FreeBSD machines (top, df etc for 
each machine). On each machine there's a script that periodically updates
its sysinfo text file to the local disk, and the machine with the web
server runs a script that periodically copies these local sysinfo files to
the www folder through NFS (all disks are mounted on the web server). Now,
the problem is that if one machine happen to be down, I get a bundle of
error mails from cron since one of the disks it tries to copy from is not
mounted. Is there some way to disable error mails from cron? Or could I
incorporate some kind of "if the file exists"-check in the script?

Thanks in advance,

/Daniel F.
