celestia-appd status sends output to stderr

[rootulp]

Context

I was wondering why I could never pipe the output of celestia-appd status into jq like this:

celestia-appd status | jq .

Problem

It turns out, celestia-appd status sends output to stderr instead of stdout. To repro:

root@rootulp-arabica:~# celestia-appd status >stdout.txt 2>stderr.txt

root@rootulp-arabica:~# cat stdout.txt

root@rootulp-arabica:~# cat stderr.txt

Proposal

Send celestia-appd status to stdout instead of stderr

[rootulp]

As a temporary workaround I do this:

$ celestia-appd status 2>&1 | jq .
