redirect stderr of echo command

Dude!Jul 4 2011 — edited Jul 4 2011

Hello,

I'm trying to redirect the error output of the echo command. The echo command should redirect output to a file, but not print any errors to stdout in case the file is read-only or any other error occurs.

$ echo text > xxx 2> /dev/null
$ chmod 000 xxx
$ echo text > xxx 2> /dev/null
-bash: xxx: Permission denied

Any ideas?

Thanks!
