Send Output to Console AND File 2

[Michael42]

Hello,

In a Bourne shell script on Solaris 8 I commonly use the below command to send the output of a command to a file:

mycommand >> /tmp/my.log

How can I send standard out and error to both the console AND a file?

Thanks,

Michael42

Look at the 'tee' command which does exactly this.

mycommand 2>&1 | tee -a /tmp/my.log

Hope This Helps, PH.

Guys,

Thanks for pointing out the tee command. That is very useful!
