rsync is running whenever I start a terminal, better way to do this?

I followed this article to run firefox in ram. rsync is setup to do it, I believe, through cron so that every x minutes it will save my profile back to the hard disk. I also set it up to run the same sript in my .bashrc. I'm not sure if the article said to do this or if I did it because firefox would not start until the script was run, meaning when I login I'd have to wait x minutes to use firefox which is obviously not acceptable. So now whenever I start a terminal session I get a printout from rsync, it's often 20+ lines long and pretty annoying; I'd like to get rid of it. Any suggestions?

From "man rsync" add "-q" to the rsync command in that firefox script to suppress non-error messages.
