Background-Process with #>/dev/null
Heya

I want to start a new background-process like this:

Code:
 
/tools/bin/bretestdriver QMGR=$QMGR REQUEST=$REQUEST CONTROL=$INPUTSAS $TESTCASE #>/dev/null &

Code:
 
[Path/Name] [Parameter1] [Parameter2] [Parameter3] [Parameter4] #>/dev/null &

It doesn't work. like this it ignors #>/dev/null .

does anybody know how i could do this?

Thanks for your help

Why do you want to do that ?

Are you trying to redirect STDERR and STDOUT seperately
Code:
processBlog 2>/dev/null 1>processBlog.output &

No I wasn't before :-)

Thank you very much, I just replaced # with 1 and now it works!

Redirecting STDOUT to a valid log file is better

You might need that for debugging the application crashes and if there is no appropriate logging incorporated in it.

That's really bad because my terminal gets full of unwanted messages, so I use "bin file & >/dev/null"... (1 Reply)
