title: Cannot redirect command output to a file (for postfix status)
body: <p>I am trying to run the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>postfix status &gt; tmp
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>however the resulting file never has any content written, and instead the output is still sent to the terminal.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried adding  the following into the mix, and even piping to echo before redirecting the output, but nothing seems ot have any effect</p>
  
  <pre><code>postfix status 2&gt;&amp;1 &gt; tmp
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Other commands work no problem.</p>
