If anyone can explain the "2>&1" section of the command, I would be most interested :-)
It seems to be critical but I have no idea why!

It's used to redirect the *error* output from a command. Simply ">" redirects standard output, and "2>" redirects any error output. Google "error output redirect" for more info than anyone could possibly want :-)
