Como posso suprimir essas mensagens de erro?

Question

Estou usando o macOS 10.12.1 e o bash 3.2.57 (1) -release. Esse script faz exatamente o que eu quero, exceto por uma coisa: não quero que todas as mensagens "Nenhum arquivo ou diretório" sejam impressas. Aqui está o script:

#!/bin/bash
#set -x
cd "/volumes/Mac HD Ext/iTunes/Audiobooks"
pwd
for dir in *
do
#echo "$dir"
[ "$(ls ./"${dir}"/*.m4a)" ] && cd "${dir}" || continue
#ls *.m4a
pwd

for nameext in *.m4a
do  
    #echo $nameext
    name=${nameext%.*} # name has the .m4a removed
    #echo ${name}
    newnameext=${name}.m4b # Add .m4b onto name
    #echo ${newnameext}
    #echo ${nameext}-${newnameext}
    #mv "${nameext}" "${newnameext}"  # Activate when ready
    echo "${nameext}" "${newnameext}"

    echo
done
cd ..     # Move back to Audiobooks directory
done
exit

e aqui faz parte da saída:

Answer 1

Você pode redirecionar o erro padrão de ls para o intervalo de bits, ou seja, ls blah 2> /dev/null . Devo salientar de passagem que usar find pode ser uma solução mais elegante para esse caso de uso e evita esse problema por definição.
