How can I overcome this redirection to >/dev/null? In your script, simply say
echo message >/dev/console or echo message >/dev/tty as appropriate. Redirection at execution time does not prevent you from opening new files in the script itself; it merely determines the defaults. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://lfix.co.uk/oliver Make it idiot-proof, and someone will breed a better idiot. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
