hi,
I am not able to redirect the output of application command in solaris in simple to understand the script is something like this

$ MNSinput --this application command takes to > prompt (greater than prompt)

> ops - this is application command, want to redirect output of this command to file

> mns- this is also application command, want to redirect output of this command to file

So i am not able to redirect output for above.

Hello springs,
You joined the UNIX and Linux Forums October 2, 2007... That doesn't really match with "new to this group". It also looks like you have tried to hijack a couple of other threads in the past, but weren't given infractions. (You also did not receive any responses to those posts. If you had started new threads then, you would have been much more likely to get a response.)

Look at the private mail that was sent to you yesterday when you received the infraction for hijacking this thread. It provided complete instructions describing how to post in the forums as shown below:

Note that you can click on any of the underlined text above to open a page in your browser related to that text.

Please also review the forum rules.

You didn't answer the question - what is going wrong? Any error messages? Why do you pipe the group command's results to telnet if those results are basically empty (disregarding the two datagrid constants)?

Guessing: You want the output of MNSinput to go to a file, executing two (internal) commands ops and mns . Try

MNSinput <<EOF >>output
ops
mns
EOF
