"COMMAND 2>&1 > PATH" doesn't work

Show key headers only | View raw

Hello.

If I try in bash this command ex. "rmdir somethingA > somethingA.out
2>&1" work right. But, if I try "rmdir somethingB 2>&1 >
somethingB.out" that work wrong.

That work's wrong in Bash version 4.4.23(1) and too in 5.0.0(1)-rc1:

######### v. 4.4.23(1) #########

$ mkdir /dev/shm/test
$ cd /dev/shm/test
$ rmdir somethingA > somethingA.out 2>&1
$ rmdir somethingB 2>&1 > somethingB.out
rmdir: failed to remove 'somethingB': No such file or directory
$ cat somethingA.out
rmdir: failed to remove 'somethingA': No such file or directory
$ cat somethingB.out
$ bash --version
