Solution 1: */8 * * * * apache2ctl configtest > /dev/null 2>&1.
Nothing will be sent to you even if error come up. Then you need to
take a look at crontab log to find out if some errors come up. Don't
like this approach.

Solution 2: just write a few lines script(i.e) in python which would
execute apache2ctl configtest. If the output would be 'Syntax OK' do
not print anything if output!="Syntax ok" - print it. Then put the
script to cron(without /dev/null ...). Whenever error comes up you
will get an email

Hope that help.
