How to use redirectors and built-in shell functions in hotkey commands?
I'm using the following line to grep in anacrontab, and kick-off an system update Ansible playbook:
redirectors
I'm wondering why lines with a pipe (|) do not work: echo piping | logger. No error is shown. Instead logger hi can do the job in this example. How come this happens? Is there another way to use redirectors?
build-in shell functions
There is an error message for bash build-in shell functions such as read.
Translation: Execution of child process read failed (File or folder does not exist)
Hope someone could explain what actually happens when a hotkey command is invoked :). And point out an alternative.

idownvotedbecau.se/imageofcode, idownvotedbecau.se/imageofanexception, and a translation of the messages would also be helpful, as most people around here don't speak dutch.

Did you try enclosing the command in double quotes?"echo piping | logger"

Hey slimmerik, niet iedereen spreekt hier Nederlands ... (for those who don't understand dutch/Flemish: hey, not everybody speaks Dutch around here ...). Hurry to translate it all to English, and do not use "images" ...
