general unix techniques, part 2003.45 (all assume the use of a bourne shell-like shell, which covers bash, zsh, sh, ksh, ash and many others): 1) divert all regular output to a file: cmd > filename 2) divert regular output and error output to a file cmd > filename 2>&1 3) divert regular output to a file but copy it to the screen cmd | tee filename 4) divert regular output and error output to a file but copy it to the screen cmd 2>&1 | tee filename then, to watch it from another shell: tail -f filename which will check the file every second by default. --p
