Hi folks, why is it that I can't say:
exec 3>/dev/null echo foobar &>&3 # Error: "-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `&'" but the following works: echo foobar &>/dev/null echo foobar >&3 2>&3 I think the succinct notation "&>&N" where N is some numbered file descriptor should work also. Is this behavior a bug or feature? Cheers, Tim -- `~~~~°< C92A E44E CC19 58E2 FA35 4048 2217 3C6E 0338 83FC
