Unix syntax.

>               = redirection
/dev/null       = null device. Means "send output to nowhere"
2>&1            = Output channel redirection. Channel 2 is the error messages
channel, 1 is standard output
                  Means: "Send error messages to where you send normal output"

In this context it means: run the program "fw" with function "logswitch"
and don't display normal and error messages.
