I did a 'make -DNOCLEAN buildworld 2>&1 blah.txt &' and it didnt work as I would have expected. It spaced it out when I looked at the processes like this make -DNOCLEAN buildworld 2 > & 1 blah.txt & So, it tried to also tried to "make 2" and failed and wrote the output to a file named "1" A redirect like this works on BSDi, not sure why it didn't in this case on FreeBSD5.2 Am I doing something wrong?
BTW i now have this # ll /usr/obj/usr/src/usr.sbin/zzz total 2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1076 Dec 23 07:34 zzz.8.gz TIA -Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Giorgos Keramidas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "lists" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2004 7:56 PM Subject: Re: buildworld via ssh > On 2004-12-22 19:47, lists <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am doing a buildworld(Rel5.2) via ssh to a remote location.
