William Holt writes: | what happens when you redirect stdout to stderr, and then redirect stderr? ie: | ping x.x.x.x 2>A 1>&2 | cat A What happens is that the ping hangs, of course, so I don't get another shell prompt, making the cat moot. So I ran the ping in the background. For x.x.x.x my unreachable host, A remained at zero bytes for a long time. I suppose it will eventually get some data, after a few hours, but by then the data won't be interesting any more.
