FYI, for Win32 you can redirect to “nul” or “nul:”. Yes, that’s a
single ‘l’.

I need to temporarily redirect standard output to nowhere.
Not sure
how to do.

Assuming you run some *IX:

STDOUT.reopen “/dev/null”, “w”

will redirect the standard output (including not just Ruby
output, but even the output of subprocesses) to /dev/null.
