Java output from crontab run

Hi,

I am trying to schedule a job in linux through the crontab command.My script actually does some text processing and echoes some output.My cron scheduler is working fine,but the output messages(echoes from script) is mailed to my mail account(in unix -/var/local/mail).Is it not possible to view the output messages in the screen rather than redirecting it into a file?

I am working on a remote Suse Linux 9.0 server.
Your help is appreciated.

With Regards
Dileep Pattayath
