It can be different for each process. Look at /proc/NNNN for the process of interest. Since the first three file are standard in (0), out (1), err (2) $ ls -l /proc/26670/fd total 8 lr-x------ 1 mitch mitch 64 Sep 30 16:36 0 -> /dev/null l-wx------ 1 mitch mitch 64 Sep 30 16:36 1 -> pipe:[14054] l-wx------ 1 mitch mitch 64 Sep 30 16:36 2 -> pipe:[14054] lrwx------ 1 mitch mitch 64 Sep 30 16:36 3 -> socket:[203653] So in this case the out and err are tossed into a FIFO that is not inspected. Use "lsof" to see what plays with the pipe... -- T o m M i t c h e l l Me, I would "Rather" Not.
