[wplug] Need help capturing console text

[Bruce Adams]

Rob -

2>&1 means send stderr output to the current stdout file handle. The trouble
is, you have not yet changed the stdout file handle, so stderr is still
going to the console. Put the initial, stdout, redirect first; like this:

et.x86 > 2>&1 ~/tce.log

Hi,

I have a program that while it runs is constantly dumping information to the
console.
I am running this in KDE's console (KDE 4.3.5).
I want to capture this data so I did the following:

et.x86 2>&1> ~/.tce.log

et.x86 is the executable.
The file .tce.log is created in my home directory.
The file contains no data even though the console is filled with text from
the
program.

Am I missing something?
Is there a way to grab text directly from the console window (from a bash
script)?


Thanks for any help on this,

Rob
