- I am running the following command:
-
- tar xvf TARFILE > out 2> err
-
- and of course I would expect to get any errors, e.g.
-
- tar: cannot open TARFILE
-
- in err, while if everything works right, I would expect something like
-
- x filename, 444 bytes, 1 tape blocks
-
-
- But this is not how it works on my HP 9000/825 !!! If everything works all right, i.e. tar xvf TARFILE extracts the file, my command will print the
- x filename, ...
- into err rather than out !!!!
-
- Please HELP!!!
