Thank you for the report. > > 2>&1 only redirects to a file but not to a pipe. I am not sure if I undestand this correctly. If I got this wrong, please reexplain. My interpretatin of this is that are doing something like foo 2>&1 | bar and would expect bar to get the output of foo. In fish, that is not how IO redirection works. In fish, IO redirection is done on a per-job basis, so adding '2>&1' to any part of the job will result in stderr of _all_ processes in the pipeline to be redirected to pipe 1. And this happens at the level above pipes, so all stderrs will in fact be redirected to the standard out of the last process in the job, i.e. to the screen. The simple way to do what I'm guessing you want to do is to use a bit of syntactic sugar (one of the few in fish) to specify that you want to pipe using a different file descriptor using the following: foo 2>| bar When I implemented the per-job IO redirection, I didn't really think about how other shells did this, I simply though IO was something that is much more intuitive to think about at the job-level. For example, it is not uncommon for me to wish to redirect stderr of _all_ processes in a job to a file (when I am dilligient) or to /dev/null (when I am lazy). Since then, the error in my original way has been pointed out to me. I still like the current method better, since I don't have to do e.g. begin; foo|bar; end 2>/dev/null to ignore all error messages, but there is a chance that fish will be changed to use per-process IO redirection in the future if enough people give enough good arguments why this is better. For now, if you want to do per-process io redirection in a pipeline, do something like this: begin; foo 2>&1; end | bar or, as pointed out above, fish has special syntactic sugar for changing the output fd in pipes: foo 2>| bar > ctrl-c in the tab pager only kills the pager, but not the output being > paged, so that the output now scrolls accross the terminal... Not 100% sure what you mean here either. If you hit control-c instead of hitting e.g. escape, then the original contents of the terminal will not be restored. Is that the behaviour you mean? If so, then I guess it wouldn't be hard to install a signal handler to tell the terminal to restore itself before exiting. If you are seeing more completions printed to the screen after hitting ^C then this is a bug that I can't reproduce on my (fedora) system. If so, is there any additional information you can provide me with to help track this down? > ctrl-c and ctrl-u do not clear the commandline as they should but > are simply ignored. These work for me under Fedora. I not that these two keybindings are among the ones that are defined in /etc/fish_inputrc. Is it possible that this file is not read on startup? Specifically, what is the value of the $INPUTRC variable, and what is the contents of said file? > > greetings, martin. > -- > cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix > offering: programming, training and administration - anywhere in the world > -- > pike programmer travelling and working in europe open-steam.org > unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at > administrator (caudium|gotpike).org is.schon.org > Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
