| You just sent _all_ output to /dev/null

Please learn how the shell redirects output :

        $ (ls fiets; ls auto) > /dev/null
        ls: fiets: No such file or directory
        $ (ls fiets; ls auto) 2> /dev/null
        auto
        $ (ls fiets; ls auto) 2>&1 > /dev/null
        ls: fiets: No such file or directory
        $ (ls fiets; ls auto) > /dev/null 2>&1
        $
