Output redirection
Hello i am trying to write a script that will redirect the output to a certain file. Here is the code so far:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
ps -e | sort | more > psfile

When I execute the script nothing happens since i assume the output was redirected to the file called psfile. When I try to look at the psfile, I get the following:

Code:
[root@localhost manny]# psfile
./psfile: line 1: 10: command not found
./psfile: line 2: 1: command not found
./psfile: line 3: 11: command not found
./psfile: line 4: 1249: command not found
./psfile: line 5: 1250: command not found
./psfile: line 6: 1310: command not found
./psfile: line 7: 140: command not found
./psfile: line 8: 141: command not found

Am I missing something here? Do I have to create the file "psfile" before running the script?

mgp2ps

MGP2PS(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 MGP2PS(1)

NAME

     mgp2ps -- generate PostScript file from MagicPoint file

SYNOPSIS

     mgp2ps [-cirtV] [-f psfile] [-p papersize] [-x xmargin] [-y ymargin] mgpfile

DESCRIPTION

     mgp2ps is a converter from MagicPoint file mgpfile to PostScript file.  If -f option is specified, PostScript will be generated to psfile.
     Otherwise, printed to the standard output.

     If there exists foo.eps corresponding to foo.gif (or whatever), the encapsulated PostScript file will be included to the PostScript file
     instead.

     The following options are available:

     -c      Generate color postscript file (experimental).  By default mgp2ps will generate monochrome postscript file.

     -i      Paint inside icon symbols.

     -r      Stack the paper in reverse order.

     -V      Be verbose.

     -f psfile
	     Pathname to put the PostScript output.

     -p papersize
	     papersize specifies the size of the paper to be used.  a3, a4, a5, b5, A3, A4, A5, B5, letter, legal, ledger, tabloid, statement,
	     executive, folio, quarto and 10x14 are available.	Default size is a4.

     -x xmargin

     -y ymargin
	     xmargin and ymargin specifies length of the margin area around the edge of the paper.

     -t      Use truetypefont instead of psfont (ASCII font only).

     -e      Specify encodings. At this moment, "iso-8859-1" and "latin1" are supported as encodings.
