No.
1. This runs every minute while the hour is 4. If you want the script
to run only a 4am, you need to specify a zero minute value too
2. The ">> /dev/null 2>&1" tells cron to thow away not just errors but
also all normal output. If you want to lose information written to stderr
(typically errors), then you need "2> /dev/null"
0 4 * * * /home/titanus/scripts/web-log 2>/dev/null
