Output not to screen

[roamer762]

Hello,

I am using csh and am sending output to a file with the prints command.However first I see the output on the screen. Is there a way how to see the output only in required file and not on screen.

printf "\n\n\n\t JOB $list\n" >>file2.

Used the printf command since I had to use tabs.

Thanks

Hi,
What switches are you using on your csh script. For debugging purposes I normally use

#! /bin/csh -xv

where the 'v' stands for verbose and the 'x' says show me every line after you do the substitution.

I always remove the -xv before releasing the script for real.


Also remember you specified >> which is append STDOUT to file2. STDERR is going to go to the screen. If you want them both in your file you need to specify

>>& file2

where >> represents STDOUT and the & represents STDERR.
