[Gambas-user] using 2>redirect with Exec?

[Brian G]

Hi bruce, 

Just notices this new thread 

Replied to the other one but here it is again 

Add this to the startup class of you application 

Extern dup2(OldFD As Integer, newfd As Integer) In "libc:6" 
Static Dummy As File 
Static Public Sub _init() 
dummy = Open "/dev/null" For Write 
dup2(dummy.Handle, 1) 
dup2(dummy.handle, 2) 
End 

No need for any other fiddles
