gbak output

[vascobrito]

hi there

i'm trying this:

gbak -b -v mydb.gdb 2> | split -b -a2 mydb.bak 300m

this isn't working because it outputs the backup to a file named split instead of output to the command that splits the backup files. I have noticed that i can't use stdout in my HP-UX, there is no such device. How can i make this work?

any help , please?

thanks in advance

This is dependent on the shell you're using...

For bash, you could use one of these solutions:

If you want to /dev/null STDOUT:

gbak ... 2>&1 1>/dev/null | split...
gbak ... 2>&1 1>- | split...

If you want STDOUT to be written on the tty:

gbak ... 3>&2 2>&1 1>&3 | split...
