UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I am trying to eliminate an error message from a script. This is the error message:

Code:

find: stat() error /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/KUMAX: No such file or directory

if [[ -n "$new3" && -n "$uppervarn3" ]];
then 
  runthiscommand=`su nxadm -c "ssh -t $new3 exec /bin/sh -s">/tmp/filew3 2>/tmp/error.txt<<EOF
                /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bplist -C $uppervarn3 -t 13 -l -R $rec -s $startdate -e $enddate $pathoffiles
EOF`;
fi

This error message is not of concern to me in that part of my script does pick up the correct directory. But because there is only a lowercase kumax directory and no KUMAX uppercase, when it goes to run the command to check the uppercase, it sends an error message because the upper case directory does not exist. I am trying to find out only how to eliminate the find (stat) error message. I've tried 2>/tmp/error.txt, /dev/null and other methods, and none of these works. Does anyone have experience eliminating error messages from scripts? Thanks in advance.

Have you tried it this way:

Code:

$ stat error /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/KUMAX
stat: cannot stat `error': No such file or directory
stat: cannot stat `/usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/KUMAX': No such file or directory


$ stat error /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/KUMAX 2>/dev/null
*** Nothing is output(i.e error message sent to bit bucket)
