I am using hstart to hide command prompt window when hg command runs. I want to store stdout/stderr of hg commands in a file but it is not working..

hg update >log.txt 2>&1

This works but when I use it with hstart like

hstart “hg update”> log.txt 2>&1″”

I get an empty log file.I tried changing sequence of 2>&1 befor log.txt but no success

Any ideas??????

    “The problem is that Hstart is not a console application – there are no STDOUT/STDERR streams associated with it” (from this thread).

    In the same thread they suggest doing something like:

    hstart /NOCONSOLE /WAIT "hg update > log.txt 2>err.txt"
    

    Hope it’ll help.

    PS: As you seem to be using Windows and want popups of completed commands or errors, have you tried TortoiseHg, it seems quite nice to have a GUI which is integrated into explorer.
