Then run the backtick with `command 2>&1` and it shouldn't hang, as eventually it will get the stderr return. I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Cogito ergo sum a bum	[reply]

what you're describing (at least the way i interpret it) is a pause, not a hang. the issue i have is the threads hang, ie never finish, which AFAICT has nothing to do with error outputting.	[reply]
