Each error line will be preceded by the command name.
Well, yes, this would work, but it seems very brain-damaged. I mean, do people
really use this approach to keep their output seperate? I find it hard to believe that this is the answer. I
can't imagine that it's
common practice for everyone to pipe into sed every time they run an X
program.
Well would could create start-gimp etc. scripts and put them in
/usr/local/bin. I start jack that way because it has so many arguments.
