How to capture stderr on Windows/DOS?

Question

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?

Answer 1

For example:

PSKILL NOTEPAD >output.txt 2>&1

This will direct stdout and stderr to a file name output.txt.
