How to disable emacs console messages

Question

When I open emacs from a terminal with the emacs& command, I get a lot of debug messages on that terminal. This obscures what I was doing before. Is there a way of suppressing debug message output to the terminal?

Thanks!

It should work in linux emacs& &>/dev/null, see stackoverflow.com/questions/2292847/… — artscan

Redirect stderr to /dev/null.

emacs 2>/dev/null& command

This alias should to the trick, just put in in .bashrc or your shells rc file.

alias emacs="emacs 2>/dev/null"

It depends on your OS, but you seem to be on Linux.
If it is the case, create a launcher icon, eg for Ubuntu.

This way the desktop environment, like Gnome or KDE, starts the process instead of the terminal, and messages do not appear.
