Sorry, I compressed too much ;)
I was talking about redirecting the output of the scripts that usually
goes to stderr.

Usually when you run a crontab job you don't want any output either on
stdout or stderr, or you want it in a log file in order to be able to
see the errors/logs.

A typical crontab job that ignores output :
20,40,60 * * * * *  /path/to/script 2>1 > /dev/null

A typical crontab job that redirects all the output (the 2>1 part is
used to redirect stderr to stdout)  to a log file: 
20,40,60 * * * * * /path/to/script 2>1 > /tmp/logfile


Could you also post the loadepg script ?
