Challenge: who can background this shell command?

[Matthias Rebbe]

I just noticed that my last post was not easy to read

I´ve used the following shell command to redirect to a file instead of to /dev/null

/users/matthias/downloads/temp/MailHog > /users/matthias/downloads/temp/hubbabubba.txt 2>&1 &


My script looked like this

put "/users/matthias/downloads/temp/MailHog > /users/matthias/downloads/temp/hubbabubba.txt 2>&1 &" into tShell
put shell(tShell)
answer URL "file:/users/matthias/downloads/temp/hubbabubba.txt"


The answer dialog showed up immediately after executing the shell and it contained the redirected stdout data.




> filename	redirects the stdout to a file
2 > &1           	redirects stderr to stdout, which in my case is redirected to file hubbabubba.txt

 &          		puts the command in the background
