Good afternoon busyboxers!  I have been working with this software on
one of my own projects and during the boot cycle I'm calling the crond
applet to start.  As a means of keeping the output clean for the user,
I've tried calling the binary as so:

/usr/sbin/crond >/dev/null 2>/dev/null

but no matter what, I get the following output:

crond[140]: crond (busybox 1.23.1) started, log level 8

How or why does busybox output in a way that can't be redirected?

Thanks,
Dave
