File suffix command in MC ??

I'm using mc a lot in terminals.

A have configured it to open epdfview when executing .pdf's, like this:

# PDF
type/^PDF
Open=(epdfview %f &)
#Open=(xpdf %f &)
#Open=(acroread %f &)
#Open=(ghostview %f &)
View=%view{ascii} pdftotext %f -

But epdfview generates a lot of output that messes up my screen.

Anyone knows how to redirect the output to /dev/null ??

Thanks That did the trick !

I now have this:

type/^PDF
Open=(epdfview %f &> /dev/null &)

And it works perfect
