Doug stated: < I am trying to troubleshoot an existing script and have located the point of failure. Before I make any changes I need to know what the bolded entry is doing/for: < < mount /dev/dsk/$disk /mnt [b]2>/dev/null[/b] < < I know that if I leave it off everything will work, but does anyone have an idea what the bolded part is trying to do?
It directs stderr to /dev/null, any errors get sent to /dev/null. man sh and read the section on 'Input/Output Redirection' The mount succeeds if the 2>/dev/null is not there ? Odd. < < Thx! < DY < < < This message posted from opensolaris.org < _______________________________________________ < opensolaris-code mailing list < [email protected] < http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code -- Sean. . _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
