Hi, everyone.
I'm trying to write a bash script which is basically a wrapper around a
number of other commands.
What I _want_ to do is basically _copy_ stdout and stderr to a log file.
Thus, when I run a command, I wans the stdout and stderr to go to
wherever called the script (eg an interactive terminal) but I _also_
want it to go to a log file.
I can do it easily for things I'm echoing in my own script by writing a
function like this:
function ECHO
{
echo $1
echo $1 >> ${Logfile}
}
and then any messages which I generate I use ECHO instead of echo:
ECHO "This is a message"
What I can't figure out is how do I redirect the output of the things
I'm running to the same 2 places?
Anyone know a nice easy way to do this?
Tnx.
Paul.
