Take the 2-minute tour ×  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 ?  share|improve this question  1

both standard out and standard error to /dev/null.  Try the
following.  ( dolphin > /dev/null 2>&1 )& share|improve this
