along the lines of what Zubin is suggesting you can use the –silent(-s) switch as well, so you only get output if there is an error, something like

MAILTO=email@domain.com
0 1 * * * mysqlcheck -Aaos -uroot -ppassword

this way you will only get an email if there is an error

Sure mysql does need frequent tunning, and also I have seen a lot of the servers running in the default configuration. which happens to be a very modest one. If you have access to the mysql configuration file, there are some values that can make your server breathe more often. And make your visitors more happy.

Note that -–auto-repair should have two dashes

Also, you might want to leave “> /dev/null” out for the first few runs, to see the results of the command (if you put MAILTO=me@mydomain.com at the top of the crontab, the results will get sent there).
