you should replace exec with a command. NOT the "exec" builtin. using the
builtin exec command doesn't make much sense in this context:
RIGHT:
echo "Hello Pipe!" |& tee filename
or
echo "Hello Pipe!" 2>&1 | tee filename
WRONG: exec | tee filename
WRONG: exec |& tee filename
USELESS: exec echo "Hello Pipe!" | tee filename
USELESS: exec echo "Hello Pipe!" |& tee filename
