Stderr is file descriptor 2, thus: command 2>/path/to/file Or for both stdout (1) and stderr: command >/path/to/file 2>&1 And by the way, I wouldn't consider that a 'command to redirect'. It is just the syntax for the shell that parses every command line. If you don't specify where to connect standard I/O the file descriptors are inherited from the parent process. -- Les Mikesell les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
