Mkbootfs writing to stdout in bash script

Hi,

I need to automate some repacking tasks of a boot image for Android
When in command line, I can use this command:

Code:
mkbootfs /path/to/root > /path/to/ramdisk-recovery.cpio;

However, if I try to run the command from a shell script under Ubuntu, it fails and outputs to stdout instead of the specified ramdisk-recovery.cpio file.

I tried to pipe it using :
Code:
mkbootfs /path/to/root | cpio > /path/to/ramdisk-recovery.cpio;
# or
mkbootfs /path/to/root | cpio -o > /path/to/ramdisk-recovery.cpio;

but it fails also when in a bash script

I tried to redirect stdout using &> in different combinations, but I am still filling my screen while the ramdisk-recovery.cpio is not written

Anone knows how to correctly redirect the output for such programs? I found no manual/help for the mkbootfs binary

NAME
DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::DBI::InterBase - DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::DBI Firebird Implementation. DESCRIPTION
See DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader and DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::Base. COLUMN NAME CASE ISSUES
By default column names from unquoted DDL will be generated in lowercase, for consistency with other backends. Set the preserve_case option to true if you would like to have column names in the internal case, which is uppercase for DDL that uses unquoted identifiers. Do not use quoting (the quote_char option in connect_info when in the default "preserve_case => 0" mode. Be careful to also not use any SQL reserved words in your DDL. This will generate lowercase column names (as opposed to the actual uppercase names) in your Result classes that will only work with quoting off. Mixed-case table and column names will be ignored when this option is on and will not work with quoting turned off. SEE ALSO
