I didn't study your script but I suspect that some of what you want to capture is coming out on STDERR. If so it would print to tty but would not be caught with > or >>. Here is one suggestion that might help: To determine if this is a problem. Run suspect commands like: `cmd 2> er' Sending STDER to filename `er' (check er for output) You might want to use an old trick I often use. Use tee instead of > or >>. the equivalent of `cmd >> filename' would be `tee -a filename' What it does is print stuff to screen and to file. You can see what is happening better. To capture STDERR into `tee' use this syntax. STDERR will endup printed to screen and to `file'. cmd 2>&1|tee file or cmd 2>&1|tee -a file (to append) -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
