Redirect STDOUT and STDERR of chsh

EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out! Forgot to put backslashes in my perl script to not process literals!

Hi everyone. I am trying to have this command pass silently. (no output)
Code:
chsh -s /bin/sh news

Currently it outputs.
Quote:
Changing shell for news.
Shell changed.
I've tried....

Code:
&> /dev/null
1> /dev/null
2>&1 /dev/null
1>&2 /dev/null
2> /dev/null

Thanks in advance!
