That would be 2>/errola.txt rather than &2>/errola.txt, the & is used when redirecting one file descriptor to another: 2>&1 redirects stderr to stdout. The easiest way to remember where the & goes is that: &2>1 could either redirect to filedescriptor 1 or to a file named '1' and a file named '1' isn't that unusual a name while 2>&1 is either going to redirect to filedescriptor 1 or a file named '&1' and it's unlikely that someone will want a file named '&1' so that is the way to do it. If you ever want to redirect to a file named '&1' you could: 2>'&1' but I can't think of a situation where you would ever want a file named &1, but then again I can't think of a situation where someone would want an album by N*Sync and I was totally wrong there.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
