Suppress warning output in bash

mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -u root mysql

I tried adding 2>/dev/null, &>/dev/null, etc, nothing seemed to suppress the warnings.

mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo 2>/dev/null | mysql -u root mysql

The command that is producing the error output to STDERR is the first command, not the second one. Put the STDERR redirection before the pipe, and this should fix your problem.

Try enclosing it on a subshell

( mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -u root mysql ) &>/dev/null

Better give your exact code attempt and warnings in your original post, but if you try this one :

{ mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -u root mysql; } 2>/dev/null

or 

mysql_tzinfo_to_sql 2>/dev/null /usr/share/zoneinfo |
    mysql -u root mysql 2>/dev/null

that should work.
