I'm not 100% sure but logically this should work.

command1 2>tempfile &
tail -f tempfile | command2

the only problem I think would be that the tail -f would never end.


another solution:
again I'm not sure but here goes:

command1 2|command2



I have not tried either of these .  let me know if they work.
