How to redirect the stdout of tar command

[Ulisse Lusuardi_2]

I'm working on HP-UX9.07 and I would capture in a file the stdout from the
command :
tar -cf /dev/rfd0 pathX

The following command
===> tar -cf /dev/rfd0 pathX > out_file
can I not use because generate "out_file" but
without the content of stdout.

With best regards
ulisse

Hi Ulisse,

First of all "tar cf" will not produce any output, "tar cvf" will. Second,
output won't be written to file descriptor 1 but to 2.

"tar cvf ./tarfile 2>/tmp/listing" will work for you

Sorry, the command was wrong. This is the right one:

tar cvf ./tarfile files 2>/tmp/listing
