/dev/tty should always be a pointer to your current tty.

exec 1>/dev/tty 2>/dev/tty

Subject: exec question

Probably a simple question, but I'm at a loss. Google has offered some
suggestions, but nothing helps.

I have a script that does an "exec 1>filename 2>fileerr".

After the task finishes, how do I re-open stdout and stderr again so I can
print stuff on the screen (such as end times and stuff) ?

Thanks, Bill.
