Question Remove Garbage Output

Hello Friends,

In a script i m using different temporary file and i remove them in the end.
During script execution i have some garbage output which is not required.


For example: Garbage Output
++ rm temp_out temp_a temp_b temp_c
++ rm Filter1 Filter2

Script : Even i am redirecting rm command to /dev/null
Quote:
rm temp_out temp_a temp_b temp_c > /dev/null
rm Filter1 Filter2 > /dev/null
Thanks for your help

Post your script within code tags (select the code and click on the # above the edit window).

What garbage do you want to suppress, error messages? You can redirect them as follow:

Code:
rm temp_out temp_a temp_b temp_c > /dev/null 2>&1
rm Filter1 Filter2 > /dev/null 2>&1

forget to tell you that below script also didn't solve the issue

Code:
#/usr/sbin/ksh
set -x
touch list.txt > /dev/null 2>&1 
rm list.txt > /dev/null 2>&1

The set -x is what causes the commands to be echoed to the shell's stderr. You can't redirect those from within the shell (other than with exec, but let's not go there. Take out the set -x because it obviously does not do what you want, or more like, all it does is the stuff you say you don't want).
