Is there a way to access the redirected file inside the script. Here is what the command line looks like:
Code:
$ shar * > archive_file.arc
I know I can't access the name of archive_file.arc with positional parameters like $1, $2.. Is there any way to figure out what file the output of the present script is being redirected?
The Output shows the file descriptors
1 for stdout (redirected to file "out")
1: S_IFREG .............
The last line shows the file whereto stdout has been redirected to.
/export/home/XXXXX/out
2: for stderr (redirected to the file "out2")
2: S_IFREG .............
Again, the last line shows the file whereto stderr has been redirected to.
/export/home/XXXXX/out2
thanks a lot, but the file that is being redirected isn't recorded in my output file. The system I am using is SunOS 5.8. I tried it on Linux too, but linux didn't recognize the pfiles command at all. Here's my output when I run the 2 lines script on SunOS 5.8:

The line shows that FD 1 is related to inode number 156220 which happens to be the inode number for "out.dump"
If you know the exact location (directory) of the file you reirect to you can find out, based on the combination of the output of the commands "pfiles" and "ls -i <dir>", what the name is of the file where your output is directed to.
If you don't know the exact location but at least the the filesystem where to file is located, you can use:
find <root of filesystem> -inum <inode numver as reported by pfiles>
If you have no clue at all wherre the file is located you could use:
find / -inum <inode numver as reported by pfiles>
However in this last scenario more then 1 file could pop up, because on each filesystem there could be a file present with that inode number
