System V says to use '>' for stdout redirect (and stdin redirect to be accurate) and '2>' for stderr redirect. I tried this in BSD unix and it doesn't seem to work. I tried find / -name <filename> -print > found.txt 2> /dev/null trying to get just what I want without all of the :permission denied error messages. When I do so, the message I get is: find: 2: unknown option. I'm not putting a space between 2 and > It just doen't seem to be the correct way to redirect stderr in BSD Unix.. Any ideas what IS the right way?? Much thanks, Scott
