| Ex:
| $ STDERR redirected to /tmp/stderr.txt
| $ command1
| $ command2
| $ command3
| 
| command1, command2 and command3 should have their STDERR redirected to
| /tmp/stderr.txt, without the need to do 2>/tmp/stderr.txt for each one.
| 
| Do you know how to do this ?

exec 2> /tmp/stderr.txt
command1
command2
command3

sh/bash/ksh/zsh only - not tcsh/csh.
