find /etc -name passwd - Rerun the command, saving standard output to a file:
find /etc -name passwd > /tmp/find.out - This time, save error message:
find /etc -name passwd 2> /tmp/find.err - Now, save the ordinary output to one file and the error message to a different file:
find /etc -name passwd > /tmp/find.out 2> /tmp/find.err
