SOLVED: Redirection in bash: stdout AND stderr to file while SIMULTANEOUSLY stderr to another file.

[Joseph Sinclair]

A quick explanation in case anyone else wants to know why this works:

this part "3>&1 1>&2 2>&3" swaps stderr and stdout (so errors show up on stdout and non-errors show up on stderr)
then tee copies the *swapped* stdout to the file /tmp/junk.err, so error messages end up there
both stdout and stderr are then copied to junk.log ({>&} copies both outputs to one file), it doesn't care that they're
swapped around.
