Question Can I avoid the standard output from kill command
I am sending a kill comand to kill a process inside a SH script but I don`t want the user to notice it so I don´t want the message "1222 killed" to appear.

I`ve tried to redirect the standard output to /dev/null 2>&1 and also tried to use "nohup" but none of them was succesfull.

Can anyone help me? Thank youSmilie

That message is coming from the shell that started the process. It is not coming from the kill command. Try starting the process from a subshell, or try sending the shell's stder and stdout to /dev/null. Turning off job control may also work.
