You get to watch the configure and make process, and you get a copy of it to peruse through later to check for things that configure might have missed. It works the same as ./configure --prefix=$HOME >L.configure 2>&1 & tail -f L.configure except tee(1) will end when the ./configure script ends, and you get to see it in real time, not as often as tail(1) feels like checking the file. This is more noticeable when you are working on an NFS filesystem as opposed to local disk. You can also use tee(1) with yor shell's procss redirection to send output to multiple programs at once. % tee >(grep -c root) >(grep -c disk) < /etc/group | grep -c jaqque 1 1 9 -john -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
