There are more "fixes" for cron than I can count. I interpret this more as a fundamental misunderstanding of unix utilities and standards. Utilities should not print out anything that the user can safely ignore. If you want to print out m

You can make a custom keyboard smaller than the standard text keyboard, solving your problem :)
