I am trying to redirect the error output to a file and terminal and throw away the standard output, but I cannot figure it out. Does anyone know how to do this?
myCommand 2>&1 1>/dev/null | tee /path/to/some/file.txt
STDOUT goes black in / dev / null
STDERR redirects to STDOUT
tee receives STDOUT and repeats its echo, and also writes it to a file
See this post. You will need to use the tee command to direct in several directions.
