The last redirection ">&2" is nonsense, it only works because STDERR is already reopened on STDOUT and redirection to the same file descriptor is ignored. And to solve your original problem: #+BEGIN_SRC sh :results output exec 2>&1 echo "testing stdout" >&1 echo "testing stderr" >&2 date -g : #+END_SRC Regards, Achim. -- +<[Q+ Matrix-12 WAVE#46+305 Neuron microQkb Andromeda XTk Blofeld]>+ Wavetables for the Waldorf Blofeld: http://Synth.Stromeko.net/Downloads.html#BlofeldUserWavetables
