2>&1?
 
Hi, I had different outputs when I do EOF with
Code:
2>&1
,
Code:
OUT="$(smbclient //TED-PC/'My Documents' -N 2>&1 <<SMB
cd $FPATH
$FGET
ls
SMB
)"
and
OUT="$(smbclient //TED-PC/'My Documents' -N <<SMB
cd $FPATH
$FGET
ls
SMB
)"
The later one lost 2 lines for file transfer and system info, what exactly does this 2>&1 expression mean?
Thanks,
Ted

redirect output stream 2 (stderr) to output stream 1 (stdout)
