Have you tried editing the keytool_help file? Perhaps it's all there but keytool outputs without the necessary \n so the output's all on one line. That line you show looks like the last line of the help file. If it's complete in vi, you'd just need to hit enter at the end of each line in the file and you're done Smilie

try
keytool -help > /some/file 2>&1

for stdout and stderr

or
keytool -sdf 2>/some/file

just for stderr

it seems that there is no difference between -help --help and -dfgsdafasd

it must be stderr

It looks like he's getting output through stdout based on his posts. Just that it's not in the full multi-page output he's expecting. That's why I was thinking it was a wacky formatting issue. If you transfer a text file from unix to dos in binary mode, and type the file, you'll get similar output.

Just a suggestion though.

Worked...!!
Ha... both of those worked... Although the later displayed a odd line.
OK.. explain the 2>&1 Is 2 sdtout and &1 the value from the input??

Thanks Carl and Funksen... (I hate little crap like this..bugs the heck out of me)

1>/file or >/file is for standard output
2>/file is for standard error

if you want to redirect both, normally you have to write

command >/file 2>/other/file

this is just a shorter method, which merges the two streams to one, so you just have to specify one redirection:

command >/file 2>&1
