True, but he was doing a system system call which execs sh to run the
commands.

wrong way around - that way stderr gets pointed at stdout (most likely
the tty) and then stdout gets pointed at /dev/null - this leaves
stderr still pointing at the tty so you will get your error output
still coming out on the tty :-)
