In any script that is intended to be run by cron, but sometimes also
interactively, I do this. You might find it useful too.
if [ ! -t 0 ]; then
exec >/dev/null 2>&1
fi
If the input is not a terminal then throw away the output. This is
the case with cron. But if the input is a terminal, such as when I am
running it interactively, then just let the output fly.
