Package: systemd-cron
Version: 2.1.2-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I can put a simple command with a redirect to a file or /dev/null, and
systemd-cron continues to email the output of the command. See the
following excerpt from the email, which shows the command I'm running:
----

I would have not expected to see the output in email.
Work-around:
I can get the redirect to work, if I change the cron entry to:
----
* * * * * bash -lc "ls -la > /dev/null"
