If the individual jobs are written correct, they too can output
pre-fatal errors, I get where you are coming from though, for some it
might just be easier to allow cron to report it, even then one could
then still null out std output, but not std error, some things I like to
get errors about, some things I want programmers to get notifications of
that I don't want, others, I don't care too much for at all, its worked
well for me for two decades but I know my approach is not for everyone.
