EXEC and file descriptor

Please give me some example of Korn shell. Although I can resemble the bash shell with Korn shell.

The article you sent is giving the knowlwdge of syntax but I would like to see the use of command like

exec i>&j

where to redirect file o/p of i to fileoutput J and then use file o/p of J for some purpose.

Same wat what is the use of 2>&1 , why we need to redirect the stderr to stdout file descriptor. If simply we need to transfet the the stderr then we can use 2 >> $FILENAME . What we are using 2 > &1.

Thanks for your help in advance.

EXEC and File descriptor

See one think I understood that using 1 >>$FILENAME is not good then using

1> &p possibaly reason is not to crearte a physical file , just open a file descripor and later add the content to the file $FILENAME. is syntax for that is

p>. $FILENAME

Am I right above?

Thanks,

Regards,
