Listmates,
I'm suffering from a cranal-rectal inversion and just can't seem to
figure out how to redirect output to BOTH a log file and to stdout at
the same time. I just want the output to appear on the screen and in the
log file. I did rtfm, but the stdout 2 stderr, then vice versa, and then
both to file examples didn't help. So, here is my simple backup script
and all I want is the cp output to go to the screen and the file. I've
tried >&1 > filename, but that didn't do it. It just goes to the log
file. Well, let me know the secret. (also if you would tell me how to
right justify the OK, that would be cool too :-)
