Thanks kindly, The format for redirects differ between "csh" (and derivates) and "sh". As I recall, csh can send stderr to stdout, and not much else (you append a "&" to whatever redirector you're using, e.g. ">&" or "|&"). I haven't used [t]csh for a very, very long time. To be able to decipher the documentation of redirection in "sh", you need to know the numbers of the standard descriptors: 0 = stdin, 1 = stdout, 2 = stderr. $.02, /Mikko To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
