I am currently looking ways to suppress error command in Linux, in particular, the command cp. I do: root@ubuntu:~$ cp /srv/ftp/201*/wha*/*.jj ~/.cp: cannot stat `/srv/ftp/201*/wha*/*.jj': No such file or directoryHow do I suppress the error message that gets printed on the screen? I.e., I don't want to see this error message in my monitor. 
How do I suppress error messages from cp?
shell;wildcards;cp
To suppress error output in bash, append 2>/dev/null to the end of your command. This redirects filehandle 2 (STDERR) to /dev/null. There are similar constructs in other shells, though the specific construct may vary slightly.
