The second one copies output to the log file.
It still appears on your screen as well.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
I do not understand the difference between these two commands:
script_file > log_file
script_file | tee log_file
As I understand, the first runs and redirects its standard output to a log
file. The second runs and pipes its standard output to the tee command,
which copies its standard input into its standard output. I have been
instructed to use the latter, but dont want to do it blindly without
understanding why.
Thanks
Erik
