The redirection syntax Gene is using is the same in all Bourne family
shells (anything that /bin/sh may legitimately point to, including
dash and bash).
Bash has a few extensions, of course, but none of them are in Gene's
original message.
If there's a legitimate concern that you might be in the wrong shell,
this command will tell you which shell is currently active:
ps -p $$
That works in all Bourne family and csh family shells, and on all Unix
systems (BSD- or System V-derived ps command syntax).
Avoid things like "echo $SHELL" because that may give misleading results.
The SHELL variable does *not* necessarily match the currently running
shell.
