at output redirection

[Franky Leeuwerck]

Hello,

I have a shell script a in which I launch another script b with the command
at -f filenameOfb now

How can I prevent the system from sending all output from the other script as an email to the user ?
I don't want to add redirection statements at the end of each script statement in b.

Thanks,

Franky Leeuwerck

Initialy my question was wrongly submitted in the networking category.

I got the solution from Andreas Voss :

Hi,

to generally redirect all output withiun a script add a line at the top ie:

exec >/tmp/logfile 2>&1

this will redirect all stdout/stderr to /tmp/logfile

Hi,

One possibility is to use a different form of at...

at << EOD
fileOfb > logfile 2>&1
EOD

Note that the command 'batch' is equivalent to 'at now'.

In the above example if you didn't want any output from fileOfb then you could substitute /dev/null as logfile.

John
