How to redirect crontab output from mail to stdout

I have created script that runs a command that uses printf to print to the stdout. I have set the script up on a crontab to run every minute. Everything works fine, except that the output is sent to mail every time. Is there a way to just have the output pop up on the stdout every minute?

I have tried some redirecting to &1 in the shell script, but that has not worked.

* * * * * cd ~/Desktop/tools && ./remind.sh

As I said, the output is mailed to me, and does not simply show up in stdout every minute.

You can redirect output to syslog with logger:

* * * * * cd ~/Desktop/tools && ./remind.sh 2>&1 | logger
