Hello there,

Could somebody kindly explain the difference between these if any:

a) x &> Nfile

b) x 2>&1 Nfile

Thank you in advace.

Reads like a homework problem. https://github.com/jlevy/the-art-of-command-line has a section on redirection, as will any beginning level Unix/Linux book.
stdout vs stderr
