Hello,

I am creating a script that I want the Standard output to go to a file
descriptor, which then gets piped to a log file.

example..

#! /bin/sh
exec 6>&1

(command1....) 2>&6 | sort-u -n -o file.out

That command1 will be spewing out alot of stuff. My question is how much
output can the "file descriptor #6" handle?

thanks,
rob
