Write Errors To File
Standard errors are by default printed on the screen. However, it is often useful to write errors to a file for logging purposes. We can do that using 2>.
Create Code That Will Produce Error
ls /a/ls: cannot access '/a/': No such file or directory
Create File To Store Error
touch errors.logWrite Error To File
In this line we run the command that produces the error and then add 2> errors.log to tell the system to write any errors to the file errors.log instead of printing them on the screen.
ls /a/ 2> errors.logView Contents Of File To Check That The Error Was Written
cat errors.logls: cannot access '/a/': No such file or directory
