Hi
After the help I received improving my backup script, I noticed that
afio 2.4.5 outputs it's backup log to stderr under -o mode, and the
output from -z when used with -o goes the stdout - however, when using
the -t mode to read the tape, the log output goes to stdout, while the
output from -z goes to stderr.
Now, I don't know if there's a reason for this which affects afio's
functionality, I'm not a c programmer, however I thought I'd have a
crack at making simple changes to the code to change this behaviour.
With the attached patch to afio 2.4.5 the behavior of the -o mode
mimics the behaviour of the -t mode, as far as the destination of the
output from the -z and -v options is concerned.
I'm not sure if 2.4.5 is the latest version, but these changes should
be pretty simple to make to any version.
Hope someone finds this useful.
