*Neither* behavior is similar to e.g. dash's behavior, or for that matter ksh. Both print the uname output after registering it as a backgrounded job (redirection does not get applied to the command itself). At any rate... are you suggesting the POSIX rules require a space here in order to distinguish the behavior? -- Eli Schwartz Arch Linux Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
