I have a script that I wrote and use successfully on FreeBSD with bash version 4.1.9(0)-release (amd64-portbld-freebsd8.1). The script uses a redirection "2>/dev/null" in several places. For some reason, that does not seem to be working correctly under an old version of bash; i.e. GNU bash, version 2.05.0(1)-release (sparc-sun-solaris2.9).
Specifically, this was occurring with rsync displaying messages of the day, etc. This only happens under this version of Bash and apparently only under Solaris. I have managed to circumvent the problem; however, I was just interested in knowing if anyone had heard of this before. -- Gerard ✌ ger...@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
