I cannot make bashes redirection (cmd 2>&1 >tmp/cmd.log) work in Konsole.
What terminal actually uses bash for the heavy lifting?
The terminal is irrelevant. This is entirely done in the shell.
Your redirections are backwards. If you want both stdout and stderr
in the same file, you need 2>&1 to be *last*. Also, you *might* want
/tmp/cmd.log to be an absolute path.
cmd >/tmp/cmd.log 2>&1
If tmp is a local directory relative to your working directory, then
ignore that change. But the 2>&1 being last matters here.
it is local to /home/me. And that order of arguments is not mentioned
in the bash scripting manual I printed several years ago. About 500
pages of it.
However it just now worked, I now have the log Maik on the digikam list
requested, and my dead tree bash script docs are out of date. Many
thanks, take care & stay well, Greg.
