Wine in silent mode

myle · #1 (**permalink**) 03-09-2008

I want to run through wine the utorrent and I don't want the messages that are usually displayed in the console,
so I use the following command

Code:

wine utorrent.exe > /dev/null &

but it doesn't seem to work. Especially the redirection of the messages to the /dev/null doesn't work at all.
Do you know why and how can I fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Some messages are displayed because they are printed in stderr.
The > redirects only the stdout. So the solution to put a program in absolute silent mode is
&> /dev/null

so in this case the command is like

Code:

wine utorrent.exe &> /dev/null &
