Description Daniel Armyr 2004-10-25 11:21:43 UTC

it appears that the output grom qpkg is not pipeable. This is very incnvenient when one wants to use it to check a full system.

The following does for example not yield any content to the file temp.log:
qpkg -c -nc > temp.log

And the following renders nothing to the screen:
qpkg -c | less

qpkg is outputting to stderr, not stdout.  To capture it's output, do:

qpkg -c -nc 2>&1 >temp.log

or

qpkg -c 2>&1 | less

Oh, sorry. 
Seems there was just a bit of cacheing done. My bad.
