Full Discussion: stderr stdout to a log file

many thanks for the reply,

actually what I was trapping before was the output of find, so that in the log files, it would show what was being backed up such as directories and files. Here is an older log file when it worked using ksh:

Code:
/home/test/scripts/backups/test_include
/home/test/scripts/backups/elmo_exclude
/home/test/scripts/backups/include
/home/test/scripts/backups
/home/test/scripts
/home/test

Also if I have variables such as:

Code:
home=/home/testuser
search=find
archive=cpio -oavc
zip_it=gzip
backup_dir=/media/backup_drive

$search $home -depth | $archive -oavc | $zip_it >/media/backup_drive/test.cpio.gz 2>/media/backup_drive/errout.log

Is there any special brackets that should enclose the brackets? remember I am using the bacj shell

Code:
home=/home/testuser
search=find
archive=cpio -oavc
zip_it=gzip
backup_dir=/media/backup_drive

(($search $home -depth | $archive -oavc | $zip_it >/media/backup_drive/test.cpio.gz)) 2>/media/backup_drive/errout.log

I am a junior coder, please bare with me. thanks

arch::test::framework

Arch::Test::Framework(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				Arch::Test::Framework(3pm)

NAME

       Arch::Test::Framework - A test framework for Arch-Perl

SYNOPSIS

	   use Arch::Test::Framework;

	   my $fw = Arch::Test::Framework->new;

	   my $archive = $fw->make_archive;
	   my $version = $archive->make_version();

	   my $tree = $fw->make_tree($version);

	   #
	   # do something with $tree
	   #

	   $tree->import('initial import');

DESCRIPTION

       Arch::Test::Framework is a framework to quickly generate testing data (archives, versions, trees, changesets, etc) for arch-perl unit
       tests.

METHODS

       new, arch_uid, home_dir, library_dir, archives_dir, trees_dir, make_archive, make_category, make_branch, make_version, make_tree.

       new [%args]
	   Create a new arch-perl test environment.

	   Valid keys for %args are home to specify an existing test environment to reuse, library to specify a different revision library path,
	   archives to specify a different archives directory, and trees to specify a differente project tree directory. The default values are
	   "$home/library", "$home/archives", and "$home/trees" respectively.

	   A different arch user id can be selected with the userid key, the default is "Arch Perl Test <arch-perl-test@example.com>".

       arch_uid
       home_dir
       library_dir
       archives_dir
       trees_dir
	   These methods return the environment parameters as initialized by new.

       make_archive [archive_name]
	   Create a new archive in the archives directory. If archive_name is not specified a unique name is generated. The archive name is
	   returned. Returns an Arch::Test::Archive reference for the archive.

       make_tree version [name]
	   Create and initialize ("tla init-tree") a new project tree for version. I name is not specified, a unique identifier will be generated.
	   Returns an Arch::Test::Tree reference for the project tree.
