as such...
...startx is executed in background w/ argument "2", redirecting
stdout to "somewhere" (thus the message "Ambiguous output
redirect")...
...then proceed to execute a program named "1", sending its stdout
to /var/tmp/startuplog ...
...if you nix the spaces between "2", ">", "&" and "1", you will not
get the error message as shown in previous messages. also, don't
forget the previous message on stdout/stderr redirection order, or
check your shell man page.
