Lightbulb Exec command behaviour

Hello All,

I came across this line in a shell script that I was looking at yesterday. Couldn't get a clue of what it does. Smilie

Code:
....
....
blah blah
....
.....

exec >&- 2>&-

......
blah blah
.....

Can someone explain me this??

Usually I have seen exec commands used to redirect std output and error output to log files. And this one is different! Smilie
