Capturing output from grpck command on AIX
I'm having trouble capturing output from the following command on AIX:
grpck -n ALL > error.out
It gives me the results on the screen but my file is blank.
I have no trouble capturing output from "ls > ls.out", but doesn't seem to work with the grpck command.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I have the following line in my script:
$sftpcmd $rmthost <<COMMANDS>> $sftplog 2>&1
For some reason this is not capturing the errors from sftp, they go to the file attached to the cron entry
ie
mm hh dd MM * /myscript > cron.out
any idea why?
