> /dev/null 2>&1

E.g.:

host$ rm nooo >/dev/null 2>&1

host$ echo rm nooo >/dev/null 2>&1

host$

iitrc:~/www/ai$ ls no
no: No such file or directory

iitrc:~/www/ai$ ls no >& /dev/null

	'>&' works fine for bash and csh (and 4dos), but not sh:

iitrc:~/www/ai$ sh
$ ls no >& /dev/null
/dev/null: bad number
