Re: [ProgSoc] Suppressing output

[Rob Lowe <robert@nospam.access.com.au>]

traceroute prints the first line to stderr and the remaining lines to
stdout. If all you want to do is remove the first line, this should do it
for you:

traceroute 138.25.9.1 > /dev/null

If something a bit more complex is required, I'd be inclined to use perl.

Rob.
