 Ok, let me explain more detailed, as you can see - I redirected both
 stdout and stderr to /dev/null, but still some text was displayed. I
 suppose it is not desired behavour and those "+ ln -s ..." lines should
 not appear in output, but they did because some part of script writes
 not to stdout and stderr only. I may be wrong though.
