I am somewhat reluctant to suggest this... but why not: A. use isatty on the stderr file descriptor to decide the default behavior B. use -w to activate warnings for a non-tty and C. use -q to deactivate warnings for a tty The reason I'm somewhat reluctant to suggest this is that I generally dislike things that change based upon isatty... but this appears to be an exception, just as is color ls' --color=tty option. -Allen -- Allen Smith easmith@beatrice.rutgers.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
