I/O Redirection

[johndrake]

Hi All,

I'm a newbie and I have a question. Below is an excerpt from a script that I am writing---this code is
in the script that I am executing:

for i in `find . -type f |cat`
do
`compress $i 1> $ARCH_LOG 2> $ARCH_LOG `
done

I want to capture the standard error and output into this
log file. Unfortunately, it still comes back to the screen and the file is 0 bytes in size.

How would I capture the Standard Error/Output to above file?

Thanks!

You may try this:

   for i in `find . -type f ! -name '*.Z'`
   do
       compress $i
   done >$ARCH_LOG 2>&1

Obviously the ARCH_LOG variable contains a valid pathname ...

Hope This Helps, PH.
