bash redirect stdout and stderr to the same file

img of bash redirect stdout and stderr to the same file

The solution for this is noted below

bash redirect stdout and stderr to the same file

Solution

   # Basic syntax:
command &> output_and_error_file

# Note, in Bash and other Linux shells, when a program is executed, it
#	uses one of three standard I/O streams. Each stream is represented
#	by a numeric file descriptor:
#		- 0, or stdin, the standard input stream
#		- 1, or stdout, the standard output stream
#		- 2, or stderr, the standard error stream
#	By default the ">" operator uses 1 and is equivalent to "1>"

# Example uses:
# Redirect the standard error to a specific file:
command 2> error_file

# Redirect the standard output and standard error to different files:
command 1> output_file 2> error_file
