I supplied just a portion of the script. The script is running Borg Backups, with a disk-space check thrown in. I'm not trying to notify-send the disk check - i'm trying to notify-send the Borg backup portion. But when i include the 2>&1, the RC of the Borg portion of the script is ignored when passing the $SUCCESS to notify-send. As long as systemd completes, it passes as successful, even if Borg crashed and burned. If i do not include the 2>&1 then the disk-space info is not sent to journalctl - but the $SUCCESS portion correctly outputs (success or fail) depending on how Borg went.
