Hi folks,
I've just started having trouble with my /dev/null file on sunra.mit.edu.
Whenever I redirect stuff to /dev/null, it tells me
/dev/null: File exists.
and doesn't perform the command. I'm not sure where to find a fix or a
workaround. Nothing seems too wrong with /dev/null, and this is a private
workstation so the chance of someone tampering is slight. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
