how to save output of 'fuser' to a file

p_raju · 05-27-2008, 11:49 AM

Hi,

I am trying to make a script for checking the "*req" type of files which are not being used.The issue I am facing is, I am not able to save the output of fuser to any file. I tried following commands but not success.

find . -name "*req" -size +10000 -exec fuser {} >> spoolfile.txt \;

find . -name "*req" -size +10000 -exec fuser {} \; >> spoolfile.txt

Can anybody help me on this? or is there any other menthod is present for getting my work done?

Thanks and Regards,
P.Raju

From the fuser manual page

Quote:

fuser outputs only the PIDs to stdout, everything else is sent to stderr.

You have to redirect the standard error, too.
