What is standard error?
Standard error (also called stderr): A second output channel reserved for warnings and error messages, kept separate from normal results so errors are not mixed into data being piped or saved. It can be redirected independently.
Standard error: an example
python job.py > out.log 2> err.log saves results and errors in two files.
