Hi everyone I want to see the output of a command as in this script:

#!/bin/bash samba -i -d3 some-command

samba -i sends it output to the terminal and prevents the script from getting to the some-command

Ah, NO! The "-i" means "interactive" rather than "daemon mode" So that's like saying "sed >/dev/pts/3" Where is the input coming from?

I've tried: samba -i -d3 > /dev/pts/3 but still it doesn't run some command.

Can I see both the output and run some-command afterwards?

If that's what you want why don't you run with "-S' rather than "-i" ? -- Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, "Where have I gone wrong?"
