What is the difference between the following commands?
ssh myhostname "command1; command2;...commandn;" 2>/dev/null
ssh myhostname "command1; command2;...commandn;"
what does 2> mean?
what does /dev/null mean? I read somewhere that result of command will be write to file /dev/null instead of console! Is it right? It seems strange for me that the name of file be null!
2>means “redirect standard-error” to the given file./dev/nullis the null file. Anything written to it is discarded.Together they mean “throw away any error messages”.
