Hi,  
I need to run usrun command and direct console output into a text file.  
eg: usrun -h \<hostname\> nobody

The above example retunns "/bin/usrun[39]: Permission denied" on the screen. I want this string to be directed into a text file.  
Please help me to achieve this.  
Any help in this regard would be much appreciated.

Cheers,  
:wall:Mandy
