How can I suppress the output due to a SIGSEGV or a SIGFPE in a Fortran 90 program?

Answer 1

I believe your error message is written on stderr. You need to redirect it to /dev/null.

./sim_program 2>/dev/null

Answer 2

That error message is probably going to stderr.

Try putting this at the start of your script:

#!/bin/bash
exec 2> /dev/null

and anything send to stderr will go to the null device rather than your terminal.

Answer 3

Thank you for answering! This does not solve the problem, though. As far as I know, >& will redirect both stderr and stdout.

It seems like the error message I want to suppress comes from somewhere else than the sim_program, perhaps even from the parent itself. No matter how I redirect the output from sim_program, the error message I want to lose remains printed to screen.
