Are you using the csh/tcsh ?According to the manual: (man tcsh, below
Input/Ouput)
---
The shell cannot presently redirect diagnostic output
without also
redirecting standard output, but `(command > output-file)
>& error-
file' is often an acceptable workaround. Either output-file
or error-
file may be `/dev/tty' to send output to the terminal.
---
To make the above example work you could change the shell by typing
# sh
and then type the suggested command above.
If you want to put your commands into file (a script) put the magic
line
#!/bin/sh
on top of it.
