Why are you so insistant that the '2>&1' is misplaced? It is perfectly well placed for its purpose, which is to allow the processing of stderr but not stdout by the pipeline.

But leaving out the misplaced error redirect, '2>&1', or even both redirections (since it seems there IS no stdout from wget), in the original script would still work. -Ed _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
