write permissions

Guest wrote on Apr 29, 2010

Hi,  I'm trying to pipe iraf output into files but get "cannot write to" errors;
e.g.,

ecl> imhead *.fits l- > list
ERROR: cannot open `list' for writing

Is there some flag I need to set in login.cl?  Or??

Thanks,

Do you have write permission in the current directory? Does the 'list' file already exist, if so you can set the 'clobber' CL environment variable to allow overwriting existing files.
