Hi All,
I still get all the trash with this:

2>&1 > /dev/nul
I think I am putting the `2>&1 > /dev/nul` in the wrong place.
What am I doing wrong?
It's the wrong way round. The 2>&1 means "redirect the current fd 2 to
the same place as fd 1", but at this point fd 1 is still unchanged. You
also misspelled /dev/null but I assume that's a typo.
You want "... > /dev/null 2>&1".
poc
echo $msg | /usr/bin/mailx $smtp -s $IAm" Disk Status" -r $From $To >
/dev/null 2>&1
Mailx hangs. I think mailx thinks it is a parameter.
