grab stderror 2

[hokky]

Hi guys,

Just quick question

Do you guys know how to view to stderr also grab it and put it into the file ?

like 'tee' command ? But tee only available for stdin only

I know how to put it in file ? but I need to view it on screen and put it in file at the same time.

Thanks guys

Only thing I can think of:

command 2>&1 | tee /dev/tty >/tmp/outfile

But then stdout and stderr are mixed in one file...

Hi p5wizard,

can you explain what '/dev/tty' means ?

Thanks man

 

[p5wizard]

/dev/tty is a special device for your process which points to "your terminal" which could be a /dev/ttyNN or a /dev/ptyNN or a /dev/pts/NN.

So by using /dev/tty, your scripts don't have to worry about what kind of terminal connection they're running on.

This also works:

command 2>&1 | tee /tmp/outfile
