Get redirected stdout file name 4

[LKBrwnDBA]

Easy one for you gurus:

How can I get the file name of an redirected stdout from my executing script?

For example, I execute:

 MyScript.ksh parm1 parm2 >/path/to/redirected_out.log

I need to know the name of the redirected file "/path/to/redirected_out.log" inside MyScript.ksh

You may consider lsof -p $$ | grep ' 1u '

Here's a solution that doesn't use [tt]lsof[/tt], but needs the [tt]/proc[/tt] file system...

#!/bin/ksh

STDOUT=$(ls -l /proc/$$/path/1 | sed 's/^.* //1')

print "This script's stdout is going to: ${STDOUT}"

The code works for Solaris. Change it to the following for Linux...

#!/bin/ksh

STDOUT=$(ls -l /proc/$$/[b]fd[/b]/1 | sed 's/^.* //1')

print "This script's stdout is going to: ${STDOUT}"
