So I've got a bash script (run as a cron job) that currently runs tar and redirects stdout and stderr to particular files.I'd like to run the tar command through screen so that I can check in on the process; also, the archive now spans two tapes, so using screen will hold the process so I can swap manually and respond interactively to tar's request for a new tape. To do this, I first tried just prepending screen to the existing command: /usr/bin/screen -dm tar [options] 2>{$file1} | tee {$file2}
I would either use screen's logging '-L', or "C-a H", or use something like 'script'. David -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
