How to NOT log certain cronjobs

I have a job that runs once a minute, and it logs the event to /var/log/crond.  This makes for huge and boring log files.  Is there a way to turn off logging for just this job?  Is there an option I can set in my crontab?

I'm sorry FJ,  I mis-read your post.  I just re-read it and I see what you're trying to do.  The command I gave you will send all output from 'the command ran' to /dev/null, not the actual 'cron log' of running the command.   
Hmmmmm. 
The cron logging is specifically setup in /etc/rc.d/crond to log any job kicked off by cron into /var/log/crond. 
If you don't want the command to log at all, the only thing I can think of is for you to run it as a small looping script that will sleep for 60 seconds and then run the command again.  The script could be called in /etc/rc.local, and it will run at every system startup.
Basically just create a little script that will run your command (you can use the ">> /dev/nul 2>&1" after it to send all output from it to dev/null), then have it "sleep 60", then loop back and run your command again.   That should accomplish what you're wanting.
All cron jobs will log when they run, I can't think of a way to have a specific cron job "not" log..........unless..........You wrote a wrapper for crond that could use a conf file similar to the way syslog uses syslog-ng.conf (/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf)...
