Redirecting to Error File

lorcan · #1 (**permalink**) 10-12-2007

Hi-

I want to redirect the output of the echo to the standard error file. We require this because, when we try to scp a file from a source server to a target server we get an error code 1. Later we found that it was due to the .cshrc file which outputs on stdout which is making the scp to fail.

I know that if we could comment out the echo statements it wouldn't fail. But i thought if we could do something like, redirecting the stdout to stderr then it shouldn't be a problem.

So is there a way of doing this 'redirecting the stdout to stderr' by default and if we could please let me know.

quick google

The following command saves stdout and stderr to the files "out.txt" and "err.txt", respectively.

[root@server /root]# ./cmd 1>out.txt 2>err.txt
