Public bug reported:
Hi,
We get these cron spam weekly:

| /etc/cron.weekly/update-notifier-common:
| New release '18.04.5 LTS' available.
| Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.
This is output from /etc/cron.weekly/update-notifier-common calling
/usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/release-upgrade-motd
That's fine for when you have a system or two, but probably not when you
manage many. Any chance the cron job can be updated so stdout is
silenced? So:
| # Check to see whether there is a new version of Ubuntu available
| /usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/release-upgrade-motd > /dev/null
Thanks
