Redirecting Output to Console & Log

[slgordon]

Does anyone know how to redirect the output, of a backup for example, to the console and to a log file?
I have tried redirecting it to a log and then doing a
tail -f on the log to display it on the console but I don't
want my operators to have to hit "ctrl-c" when the backup is done.
Thanks in advance!

If you want to redirect STDOUT from a command to two places you can use [tt]tee[/tt]:
[tt]
command | tee outfile
[/tt]
tee will copy its output to standard output and to each named file in its arguments.... you can use the [tt]-a[/tt] to append to each named file...
