Additionally, ------- >exec 1234567890>out.txt bash: 123456789: Bad file descriptor ------- For large numbers but not that large (I don't inspect the limits!), exec command rejects fd number but silently adds a new fd to current bash process. In every execution of the command, bash adds a new fd to itself again and again.
