I tried with "./W >> boot.txt" or > "./X | tee boot.txt" but file is empty. Can you tell me why ? You forgot to redirect stderr. For csh: ./X >& boot.txt For Bourne-alike shells: ./X 2>&1 > boot.txt -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
