How to redirect the import log to /dev/null?

Alright, so here is how error redirection works..
As you know, to send the STDOUT to /dev/null you do something like this: somecmd > /dev/null
So, to send STDERR to the same place, you can do:
somecmd 2> /dev/null
To send both STDOUT and STDERR to /dev/null you can do:
somecmd > /dev/null 2>&1
the 2 is writing to the same place that 1 is (which is dev null).. The &1 means "Whatever 1 is writing to".
Hopefully that explains it a bit better.

rant-import
rant-import(1) rant-import rant-import(1) NAME
Rant - Flexible, Ruby based make SYNOPSIS
The rant-import command creates a monolithic rant script tailored to the needs of your project and thus removes the dependency on an Rant installation (but of course one person needs an Rant installation to run rant-import). Run the command with the --help option to get a brief help message: % rant-import --help Probably the easiest way to create your monolithic rant script is with the --auto option: % rant-import --auto ant This will write a monolithic rant script to the file ant in the current directory. To determine which plugins and imports your project is using, it performs step 2 of the rant command as described in doc/rant.rdoc, which means that it loads the Rantfile in the current direc- tory. That one command should be enough: % ruby ant This script has the same behaviour as the rant command. Distribute it with your project and nobody else but you needs an Rant installation. FURTHER INFORMATION
