[oclug] Disabling Cron E-Mail

I was wondering if there is a way to stop cron from e-mailing the owner
of the cronjob.

Here is my situation.  I have a cronjob that runs a script to ping my
gateway to keep my connection alive.  After the job is finished it sends
an e-mail message to my root account.  As a result my root inbox is full
of useless cron entries.  I would like to disable to e-mailing on only
this job if possible because I already know if the job was successful if
my connection is still alive.
