grep on stderr 1

[columb]

I'm running an application which is very chatty with this output going to stderr. The problem is that I want to lose the inconsequential but keep the important as real errors are getting lost amoungst the information lines. What I have now is

command > output.log 2> output.err
grep -v INFO output.err

but that means I don't see the errors until it's all over which can be critical in long running processes.

Any ideas?

Typed, untested:
command 2>&1 >output.log | grep -v INFO

Hope This Helps, PH.
