I don't see the connector between '> /dev/null' and '2>&1' ... For example: cat /dev/null > some_file means - if I understood it correctly - that the system reads '/dev/null' and writes it to 'some_file' with a little help from '>', which I call here the connector between both parts of them. --- But what is the connection between /dev/null' and '2>&1' Thanks in anticipation Wolfgang ===== -- Tom Waits going Casablanca with Alice :) .. : 2 new Waits songs (mp3): http://www.anti.com/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
