It seems like "dnsmasq --test" redirects the output "syntax check OK" 
message to stderr (2) by default:


root at sparrow:/tmp# dnsmasq --test
dnsmasq: syntax check OK.
root at sparrow:/tmp# dnsmasq --test 1>/dev/null
dnsmasq: syntax check OK.
root at sparrow:/tmp# dnsmasq --test 2>/dev/null
root at sparrow:/tmp#

Is this meant to be? If so is there any alternative way I could print 
out only configuration issues and ignore "syntax check OK" messages?

Thanks
