Script’s output to /dev/null 1

[ddrillich]

Good Day,

I have the following script which currently sends its output to stdout. We would like to send the output to /dev/null.

Is it possible?

cat << END | ftp -n -v server_name
user user_name password
lcd l_dir
cd dir

mget `date +%y%m%d`*

bye
END

Thanks,
Dan

Dan,
The easiest way would be to designate the output when you call the script. For example, given some script called runscript.sh:

$ runscript.sh 2>&1 > /dev/null

2> (redirect standard error) &1 (into stdout) >/dev/null (both into /dev/null)

Cheers,
