When a cron job runs, the default behavior of the cron daemon is to
take that cron job's stdout and stderr and mail those things to the user
who ran the job. This is why many regular cron jobs have "> /dev/null"
in their crontab after they've been debugged. If you want the output of
cron jobs to be written to syslog, on CentOS 6, you'd modify
/etc/sysconfig/crond and add -s to the CRONDARGS variable and restart
crond.
