Scheduled bash script's contents appear on the "currently running tasks" list

I scheduled a bash script which looks like this:

<table class="codehilitetable"><tr><td class="linenos">
1
2
</td><td class="code">
#!/bin/bash
python blah.py 1>stdoutlog 2>stderr
</td></tr></table>

Now the script has launched but on the "Currently running tasks" list I can see both

/bin/bash path_to_bash_script

AND

python blah.py (without the redirections)

Is this normal?

Yup. You're running 2 processes: Bash and Python.
