I'm writing a bash script that, among several more things, calls gnuplot to fit a few data files. When it does so my terminal gets flooded with the gnuplot fit log.

I do not want that, I'd like that gnuplot just kept the fit log to the file 'fit.log', rather than printing it on screen. But I can't find a gnuplot command to prevent the fit log file from being printed on terminal.

I do not want to redirect all gnuplot text output to a file because I would like to know just by looking at the terminal wheter it returned any errors.

What can I do?

Thanks, Ferdinando
