lsattr and my script

[Trapster]

I have a script I use to lock down different directories on my server.
When I use lsattr, I get these messages in the console.

Code: Select all

lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on /sys
lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on /proc
lsattr: Operation not supported While reading flags on /mouse

I have googled and cannot find a way to exclude directories with lsattr.

Is there a way I can exclude directories or suppress these messages with some other method?

Here is the full script:

Code: Select all

#! /bin/bash

STAT=$(echo `lsattr / /usr | grep -e ----i | sed -r 's/^.{15}//'`)
#HELP=$(echo -e "Hello,\nThis is\na multiple lines\nmessage" | xmessage -file -)
