That didn&#39;t work.  I did get it to supress the output anyway by adding:<br>-l --logfile /root/backups/smb.log<br>to the end.<br><br>It doesn&#39;t seem to use the logfile, but at least it doesn&#39;t dump anything to the screen.  I&#39;ll keep on googling until I find something that works.<br>

It&#39;s probably writing to stderr instead of stdout. You need to change<br>
the last &gt; smb.log to 2&gt;&amp;1 smblog.txt I believe<br>

&gt; I have the following line in a backup script:<br>

<div class="im">&gt;<br>
&gt; Everything works wonderfully, except that the output is still going to<br>
&gt; the screen instead of smb.log. It will &quot;touch&quot; the file smb.log and make<br>
&gt; it have a new timestamp, but the file is empty.<br>
