Re: Can less read its input from the stderr ? How ?

[Joel Keating <we7394@wepco.com>]

No you can't use the less command.  To switch stdout with stderr do 
# ln -s /dev/stdout /dev/stderr 

or the other way around.  I'm not sure which way you like it (Perhaps
because i have no idea why you want to do that.)
