I'm guessing the order of operation goes backwards. So: "redirect stdout to devnull, shove stderr through stdout" and then finally, on the other end, again, "pipe it to grep" I'm far from a bash expert, though. Most of what I know I learned from your bash talk, and most of that has evaporated off the top of my head. ;) -bill! _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
