Run a command without output in console

  • 772

Sometimes I need to run dolphin in console to see the current directory in a GUI (because of some features I've implemented over it).

So I try to do (dolphin > /dev/null) & in order not to have many output but I get messages like QPixmap::scaled: Pixmap is a null pixmap in the console even doing > /dev/null

So what's the problem with my command in order not to show output ?

    You need to redirect both standard out and standard error to /dev/null.

    Try the following.

    ( dolphin > /dev/null 2>&1 )&
