How do you send errors to /dev/null in cron jobs?
When I run nslookup manually on an IP address that doesn't have a
name associated with it I get this output:
# nslookup 172.16.1.1
Server: dynegy.osucba.edu
Address: 172.16.0.254
*** dynegy.osucba.edu can't find 172.16.1.1: Non-existent host/domain
If I don't want to see the error, I issue the command like this and
as desired i don't see the error:
# nslookup 172.16.1.1 2>/dev/null
Server: dynegy.osucba.edu
Address: 172.16.0.254
When I do the same thing in a script via cron, I get the error in the
ouput even with 2>/dev/null.
Thanks,
Jason Joines
