[Gllug] This morning`s shell script question

[t.clarke]

Stderr to a pipe   - interesting !
It would seem that the standard shell on Unix (not looked at bash) does
not provide the ability to redirect stderr to a pipe,  only stdout.

Possibly you could redirect stderr to a file and then cat the file to a
pipe and then delete the temp file?
eg:
command   2> temp.file
cat temp.file | log-cmd
rm temp.file

clumsy and of course log-cmd wont see the stderr until command completes :-(


I imagine there must be a way to do it somehow,  but whether or not that
involves something other than straightforward shell-scripting is another matter!
