I have no idea to be honest. Maybe there is some third kind of output that we haven't seen yet, but the only thing I could figure out how to redirect was stdout, and the only error messages I could get it to produce went either to that or direct to the console, e.g. (when running as a limited user): > C:\WINNT>subinacl /file $NtUninstallKB888111W2k$ >\temp\stdout.guest > 2>\temp\std > err.guest > > Elapsed Time: 00 00:00:00 > Done: 1, Modified 0, Failed 1, Syntax errors 0 > Last Done : C:\WINNT\$NtUninstallKB888111W2k$ > Last Failed: C:\WINNT\$NtUninstallKB888111W2k$ - CreateFile Error : 1314 A > requi > red privilege is not held by the client. > > C:\WINNT>type \temp\stderr.guest > > C:\WINNT>type \temp\stdout.guest > e S e c u r i t y P r i v i l e g e : A c c e s s i s d e n i e d . ^^^^^^ > > W A R N I N G : U n a b l e t o s e t S e S e c u r i t y P r i v i > l e > g e p r i v i l e g e .

I think you're probably out of luck here; I don't know any way to capture direct console output like that (short of some sort of screen scraper or even if you want a wooden table solution taking a snapshot and OCRing it...!) cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
