For example: ~$ cat idontexist > errors.txt will just produce an empty file because the resulting error message: "cat: idontexist: No such file or directory" ...is still sent to the terminal via std error. To include std error in the redirect add an '&' to the redirect as below: ~$ cat idontexist &> errors.txt Unfortunately, it's not possible to pipe stderr on its own but you can redirect stderr to stdout and then pipe that e.g. ~$ cat idontexist 2>&1 | less LeeE
