Re^8: how to supress stdout

I don't understand. What do you mean by "proper redirection"? What other kind can it do?

And what "is only true if the re-direction is done in the shell"?

By 'proper redirection', I mean the redirection supported by *NIX, not the minimal redirection offered by Windoze. 'Above will work only when a bourne-like shell (FreeBSD /bin/sh, bash, zsh, etc.) handles the redirection' ... is only true if the re-direction is done in the shell. A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))	[reply]

'Above will work only when a bourne-like shell (FreeBSD /bin/sh, bash, zsh, etc.) handles the redirection' ... is only true if the re-direction is done in the shell. How can a shell handle redirection anywhere but in the shell? Still trying to understand what you wanted to communicate in Re^5: how to supress stdout. Your answers didn't help at all.	[reply]
