Perderabo, you da the man!! (of course, making a gender assumption there). That worked beautifully!! Question for you as this is the 1st time I've come accross file descriptor 3 - 1 is STDOUT, 2 is STDERR but 3? And, if you don't mind - what is the last redirection "3>&-" doing?

Thanks Perderabo!!

Asifraj - I can't use just "2> error" because then it won't also go to the screen. I want the user to know there was an error but I don't want to have to rely on them to know what the error is.

Optimus_P - while that would work for getting the errors to the screen and a file, it would also send STDOUT to the same file, which I don't want (I have a debug log that I want to contain only debug and error messages).

Thanks everyone!
