Yeah, I remembered those just after sending this message, and thought they might always go to the "real" stdout/stderr. i.e. if redirected, though I'm not sure that makes sense. But it turns out these are just links to /dev/fd/1 and /dev/fd/2. On Linux at least. Likewise /dev/stdin -> fd/0 Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
