Sure. A little unix voodoo. If I'm teaching you to suck eggs with a couple of these, please feel free to skip them ;) There are three 'streams' involved: stdin (where the process reads from), stdout (where the process prints output to), and stderr (where the process prints errors to). mount /dev/sda1 -t hfsplus /hfs > /tmp/hfsmountoutput sends stdout to that location. Most of the errors probably went to stderr (Arguably they all should -there are holy wars about where exactly to draw the line here). If you do: mount /dev/sda1 -t hfsplus /hfs > /tmp/hfsmountoutput 2>&1 that means: send stdout to the file, and send stderr to stdout. So, the whole lot will end up in the file. David
