Would you entertain something like?
1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
This way it won't conflict with &1 &2

Subject: Using "> /dev/null 2>&1" in 11g RMan
Being new to 11g, I just found out that &1, &2 sqlplus-type substitution
variables can be used in RMan. I have 10g RMan scripts in which I
redirect output from some Host commands via "> /dev/null 2>&1". Of
course 11g RMan now asks for the value of &1. After searching the docs
and Googling, I still can't find out how to change & to, say ~, using
something like the sqlplus Set Define command. Can this be done in 11g
RMan?
Thanks.
