What does the following exec command do it is in the shell file?
I have a shell script, research_dump_sub.sh
the first 3 lines are below. the below two lines writing to log file, i am not finding the log file, how to locate, and what is the exec command doing exactly please.
and the third line again calling/triggering the shell file. i didn't understood.
exec [-cl] [-a name] [command [arguments]]
If command is specified, it replaces the shell. No new process is created. . . .
If command is not specified, any redirections take effect in the current shell, and the return status is 0.
As for the redirections: they make use of the shell's "process substitution" (c.f. e.g. man bash) which in turn uses the tee command to both display to stdout and log to the file given.
