Description

@faidon reports a cron spam from labservices1002.wikimedia.org:

Date: Tue, 03 Jul 2018 19:32:26 +0000
From: Cron Daemon <root@labservices1002.wikimedia.org>
To: root@labservices1002.wikimedia.org
Subject: Cron <root@labservices1002> if ! `/usr/local/bin/labs-ip-alias-dump.py
	--check-changes-only`; then /usr/local/bin/labs-ip-alias-dump.py; /usr/bin/rec_control
	reload-lua-script; fi

I don't see anything wrong when running the script by hand, so we could probably redirect the output to /dev/null to avoid this informative email which doesn't really give any useful information.

Probably @Andrew has more context about this, so assigning this task to him. Feel free to reassign back to me :-)
