Message-Id: List-Id: References: In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org I am having trouble understanding what 'exec >/tmp/foo.$$ 2>&1' does. I understand that $$ becomes my pid and that stdout and stderr are redirected, but doesn't exec take a command? What am I missing? Also why would my commands not run previously if they generated output on stdout? - Michael >-----Original Message----- >From: linux-hotplug-devel-admin@lists.sourceforge.net >[mailto:linux-hotplug-devel-admin@lists.sourceforge.net] On >Behalf Of Michael Hale >Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 1:37 PM >To: linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net >Subject: [SOLVED] RE: Weird environment for usb-storage script? > > >Thanks Joerg, > >I changed my usb-storage script to look like this: >#!/bin/sh > >exec >/tmp/foo.$$ 2>&1 >set -x >invoke-rc.d ssh start >eject > >echo '#!/bin/sh >killall -9 sshd >eject -t' > $REMOVER > >chmod 777 $REMOVER > >...and it starts and stops the ssh server.
