Any certbot expert here? I configured cron to run "certbot renew" every
day:

13 4 * *  *  certbot renew

But certbot is very talkative. On the standard output:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Processing /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/dns-resolver.yeti.eu.org.conf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following certs are not due for renewal yet:
  /etc/letsencrypt/live/dns-resolver.yeti.eu.org/fullchain.pem (skipped)
No renewals were attempted.

On the standard error (despite the fact there is no error!):

Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Cert not yet due for renewal

To me, it violates a very important Unix design principle "when you
have nothing to say, shut up".

I do not find a way to make it "quiet" (output something only if there
is an error *or* if there is something to announce, such as an actual
renewal).
