What? WHAT?
Could you please translate that to proper sh syntax?
I know the GNU bash extension >& (which incidentally
violates POSIX on the parse level) but not ~>&…
POSIX doesn't allow 'cd ~' to change to your home
directory? Um...you sure about that?
How about:
"/tmp cd ~ >& /dev/zero"
"Violates POSIX on the parse level?!" Eek! Next
it will be "dogs and cats, living together, real
end-of-the-world stuff". shaking-my-head :^|
