How to redirect file write from home folder to specific folder in UNIX

redirectionterminalunix

I did a search and didn't find what I was looking for. I finally found a beginners UNIX book that I like. I am going through some examples and I notice output is generated in the home folder. I am using OS X. I keep all my code on my desktop in a folder called code for all my programming assignments and practice. C,C++…etc.

So my question is, how do I do a file redirect from the terminal to create a file in a specific folder? If I type:

cal 2011 > cal2011

it creates a file called cal2011 to my home folder. How do I write at the terminal without changing directories (the initial command prompt) to save it to:

desktop/code/unix

Thank you for the help. I am still new at this…

Assuming you are in your homedir, the relative path works.

cal 2011 > desktop/code/unix/cal2011

If you aren't, you can use the ~ to denote your homedir

cal 2011 > ~/desktop/code/unix/cal2011

Linux – Redirect input from one terminal to another

In your simplified example, you have two processes (your shell, and the cat) trying to read from the “slave” side of the tty. The result is that one process gets some of the characters, the other gets the others.

What do you mean by “redirect the input from one [terminal] to the other”? In your real situation, what processes are trying to read from each terminal? What do you want to do with your captured input once you have it? What, exactly, are you actually trying to accomplish?

To me, “redirect the io of a process running in gdb” seems more like re-opening stdin/stdout/stderr inside a process that is already running.

You can change stdin/stdout/stderr of a running process with (among other things) GDB. An answer to “Redirect STDERR / STDOUT of a process AFTER it’s been started, using command line?” shows how it can be done. You would want to substitute a tty pathname for /dev/null in the answer, and you probably want to handle stdin, too, but the technique is still applicable.

You should be able to make your simplified example work robustly, but I am not convinced that it does what you actually want to do (keep in mind that a pseudo terminal is actually a pair of devices, like two ends of a bidirectional pipe; but all your example does it interact with the ‘slave’ halves).

The key to fixing your example is to get all but one of the competing process to (temporarily) stop read from the terminal. If, like your example, you have a shell running on the side from which you would like to capture data, then you can do something like this:

(
    s="$(stty -g)"
    exec 3<&0
    trap 'stty "$s" 0<&3;exit' 0 INT QUIT

    cat <<EOM
In some other terminal, run the command

    cat <$(tty)

Press ^C or ^\ to quit.
EOM

    stty raw isig brkint susp '' dsusp ''
    while true; do sleep 3600; done </dev/null
)
