    How about running the exec as a sub-shell?

    echo "got here"
    ( exec ls >logfile 2>erfile )
    echo "now got here"

    Probably a simple question, but I'm at a loss. Google has offered some suggestions, but nothing helps.

    I have a script that does an "exec 1>filename 2>fileerr".

    After the task finishes, how do I re-open stdout and stderr again so I can print stuff on the screen (such as end times and stuff) ?

    Thanks, Bill.
