Challenge: who can background this shell command?

[Matthias Rebbe]

put "/users/matthias/downloads/temp/MailHog > /users/matthias/downloads/temp/hubbabubba.txt 2>&1 &" into tShell

-- above redirects into file and then don´t ask me.. ;)
put shell(tShell)
answer URL "file:/users/matthias/downloads/temp/hubbabubba.txt"
-- answer dialog shows content of file, which contains in my case the address and port it was binded to.

Be aware, that the background process runs untill you kill it from the shell.
