 AI> What does the 2>&1 at the end of that line do?

redirects filehandle 2 to filehandle 1 which is already being redirected to
the log file... IIRC, that is... basically, filehandle 2 is stderr
(standard error output) whereas filehandle 1 is stdout (standard output)
both writting to the screen... without that 2>&1, the errors would
be written to the screen and not the logfile...
