[olug] BASH shell programming question.

[Jay Swackhamer]

to get rid of all output

MYCOMMAND > /dev/null 2>&1 &

to capture screen output, and disconnect the process from your
terminal(just in case the ssh session drops) put a nohup infront

i.e.
nohup wget
ftp://ftp.webtrek.com/pub/mirrors/knoppix/KNOPPIX_V3.2-2003-06-06-EN.iso &
> wget_knoppix.log



> I have been trying to redirect standard out and error to /dev/null.  I
> believe that I should be using &> /dev/null, but the output still echo's
> to
> the screen.  Even when running my command from the command line, I still
> get the output echoing to the screen.  Anyone have any idea's?
