Yes, but your syntax is wrong. You want this:
/usr/local/bin/whatever >/dev/null 2>&1
which says:send stdout (1, which is implicit before ">") to /dev/null, and
then send stderr (2) to the same place you sent stdout.

... in '59 I ran out of brakes *four times* -- and I don't mean they didn't
work very well, I mean I had none. Like the main oil line had sheared. You
know, so that oil, you know, when you put your foot on the floor, the oil
just went squirting out into the atmosphere. Things like that. You know,
I'd always believed that Colin was close to genius in his design ability
and everything -- if he could just get over this failing of his of making
things too bloody light. I mean, Colin's idea of a Grand Prix car was
it should win the race and, as it crossed the finishing line, it should
collapse in a heap of bits. If it didn't do that, it was built too strongly.
