IO redirection not working
 

Hello,

I am using bash as my shell.
I am compiling some java files and I will like to redirect the compile errors that I get to some text file.
So I issue the following command

javac myjavafile.java > debug

Nothing is written in the debug file and all the errors are displayed on the screen.
I did check the permission on the file debug to make sure I have the correct permission
I also try to pipe the output to more

javac myjavafile.java | more

again, everything is written to the screen and I cannot scroll up and down with more.

Does anyone have any idea of what is going wrong here ?

Thanks

Stderr is channel &2: "javac myjavafile.java 2> debug". Combining this, if you want and stdout and stderr in one log and be able to scroll tru it all, try "javac myjavafile.java 2>&1 | tee debug | less"

Don't you have to put the a file extension on it?

avac myjavafile.java > debug.txt

???
