Hello Akshay Hegde/Cochise,

There is no meaning for using >/dev/null 2>&1 in case of echo. We can use this command if we are running any script and we want to see output if that script is storing it in any output file, also it will avoid errors too while execution of script too. There this command can be useful.

./script.ksh >/dev/null 2>&1


Thanks,
R. Singh
