That's a letter l for login. It will make bash simulate logon so you get your usual environment, similar to at the command line.

sneakyimp's suggestion is good and may give useful information. Try it with 2>&1 at the end of the line, too. That may catch some error messages that > some_file alone does not.
Instead of

Code:
command > some_file 2>&1
use

Code:
command &> some_file

That's tidier MTK358 but does it make any functional difference?

I doubt it.

It's just that this "2>&1" thing really irritates me because it's placement just doesn't go with the flow of data. Also I don't understand it's syntax.

Am I the only one in the universe that knows about bash's &> operator and have to explain it to everyone?

It redirects both stdout and stderr to a file.

Also, "2>&1" never really made sense to me. I just know that "&>" is an elegant replacement that actually makes logical sense.

The tokens you represent as arg1-3 are not arguments; arg1 is an redirection target, arg2 is a file descriptor (in this case fd 2 which is stderr) and arg3 means "the same place as fd 1 is going to". Redirections are explained here.

I guess many of us have old habits, from before &> was available. Personally I don't find the usage of & in &> any more logical or intuitive than its usage in 2>&1!
