I normally use bash and this works in bash:
echo "hello stderr" >/dev/stderr echo "hello stdout" >/dev/stdout
But in /bin/sh:
$ echo hello stderr >/dev/stderr cannot create /dev/stderr: directory nonexistent $ echo hello stdout >/dev/stdout cannot create /dev/stdout: directory nonexistent $
--- I'm guessing this isn't supposed to work this way?
"makewhatis -v" doesn't like seem to like it: law> makewhatis -v /usr/sbin/makewhatis: cannot create /dev/stderr: directory nonexistent
I invoked the -v when a simple "makewhatis" yielded "cd: can't cd to /cygdrive/c/Documents"
