Bash script
Good day Group
I am just a beginner with bash scripting and I just need some direction in creating a script. So basically, I need to create a script where if
I execute with the script like this :
./script bob - it prints out Mary
and
./script Mary - it prints out bob
and if neither command is parsed to it, it returns to stand err
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

unless other wise provided for 2>&1 and >&2 are exactly the same. typicall stderr is redirected to a file for debugging. stderr defaults to stdout unless outerwise directed. since tuxracer did not specify a file both 2>&1 and >&2 are exactly the same.
