How to send STDERR to the terminal output and the STDOUT to a file.
Normally the STDOUT and STDERR are both sent to the terminal output.
To split them up we can use ">" and "2>" for STDOUT and STDERR respectively.
generic example
( cool_prog > cool_file ) 2>&1
**note, the parentheses are required or else it will not work**
The Explanation:
cool_prog will attempt to send thing into STDOUT. The ">" will send it into cool_file.
cool_prog will attempt to send thing into STDERR. The "2>&1" will send it to terminal output.
">&" should achieve the same effect as "2>&1"
