fork or pipe

[IMAUser]

I am trying to do something like this

echo " Rundate is $rundate " > fileone.log
echo " Rundate is $rundate " > filetwo.log

But I dont want to do this as two lines. One the first line itself I shld be able to redirect the echo command to two files. I remember doing it some years ago, using either pipe or fork. Cant remember how.
Any clues people.

Thanks

#!/usr/bin/ksh

print "test"| tee file1 file2 > /dev/null

creates two files file1 and file2 with contents "test".

You can also use the -a option of the tee command if you want to append text.
