Capturing output from grpck command on AIX
I'm having trouble capturing output from the following command on AIX:

grpck -n ALL > error.out

It gives me the results on the screen but my file is blank.

I have no trouble capturing output from "ls > ls.out", but doesn't seem to work with the grpck command.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Try to redirect Standard Error to a file:

Code:
grpck -n ALL > error.out 2>&1

Thanks, that worked...I see that the output came out as error output.
