Terminal output redirection not working for Caffe

Question

I want to redirect Caffe's output from the terminal to a file (say output.txt). I'm using the command

caffe train -solver=expt/solver.prototxt > output.txt` 

However, the > operator doesn't seem to be working and Caffe spits out all the output on to the terminal. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.

Can't seem to figure out why > is not working with Caffe. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

You need to redierect stderr as well

caffe train ... > output.txt 2>&1

The redirection operator > redirects only stdout, caffe is using sterr as well. You might want to set GLOG_logtosterr=1 as well.
