2>&1 >foo is the wrong syntax for what you want. This first copies |
| 7 |
stderr to stdout, and the second part redirects stdout to a file, but |
| 8 |
stderr is still going to the file descriptor that stdout originally |
| 9 |
refered to. It is logically the equivalent of: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
stdout=1 |
| 12 |
stderr=2 |
| 13 |
stderr=$stdout |
| 14 |
stdout=foo |
| 15 |
echo $stderr |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The correct syntax is ">foo 2>&1", which does the logical equivalent of: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
stdout=1 |
| 20 |
stderr=2 |
| 21 |
stdout=foo |
| 22 |
stderr=$stdout |
