I want to capture the errors from a script into a file instead of to the screen.
In *nix, this is done with stderr redirection, usually
echo "Error" 2> errorfile.log How do I do it in a CMD script under Windows?

For example:
PSKILL NOTEPAD >output.txt 2>&1 This will direct stdout and stderr to a file name output.txt.
See Underused features of Windows batch files for more details.

If you want them redirected to separate files, you can do
mycommand >stdout.txt 2>stderr.txtThat should work in Win32, too.
If you have already redirected stdout, and want stderr redirected to the same file, you must use the 2>& special form, rather than just specifying the same file twice. Otherwise you'll get a "file busy" error.

This is also covered in Redirect stdout and stderr to a single file.
