Hmmm...The good new is that I am no longer getting error messages. The bad news is that nothing seems to be ending up in the file. I created a file called disk_storage in vi. Then I did the following:
(date; du ~) >> ~/disk_storage This put some text into the file. Then I ran: (date; du ~) | ./ppd.txt ~/disk_storage And nothing was prepended to the file! I did get the following: set tf = /tmp/ppd.1568 set dest = /home/Christopher Spears/disk_storage cat - /home/Christopher Spears/disk_storage -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
