I just wanted to send it to a file so that I could see the results of all the commands given at a glance. If one fails in the beginning I don't want to over look it, the file will not actually be saved. Just don't want to have to sit and watch the screen. I'll probly just send the file to the /root/ dir and have it display from there. Drives that fail are put under scrutiny and then RMA'ed for failure. Thanks again for the assistance.
