[aclug-L] Crontab entry

[Todd_Lundstedt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

We have several crontab entries that look like this (this is AIX, but it
should be pretty similar, eh?)...

5 * * * * /path/command >/path/output 2>&1

I understand this will run "command" every day at 00:05, redirect the
standard output to /path/output (ie /dev/null or some file).  The "2>"
redirects the error output to a path similar to ">", in these cases it
redirects to "&1".  What is "&1" representing????
