This is really a ruby question, but it is probably of interest to people 
doing simple testing so I try asking it here.

I just wrote my first testing script with Watir. I want to test a web 
server performance so I want the script to run for long time, saving 
output to a log file. So after testing the script - which runs fine - I 
want to run it in a more useful way for everyday use. My usual way of 
doing this is something like

   watir-check.rb 2>&1 | tee watir-check.tmp

I am using Windows XP so this is run in cmd.exe, but it normally works 
with this syntax. (tee.exe is from gnuwin32.)

This did not work, the .tmp file is created but is empty and I see 
nothing in the console window.

Sometimes I have seen some problems with redirection using the file 
associations like this so I tried this version instead:

   ruby watir-check.rb 2>&1 | tee watir-check.tmp

Still the same problem. I tried to simplify even more:

   ruby watir-check.rb > watir-check.tmp

To my surprise not even this worked.

So -- does anyone do something like this? If so how? Is this a known 
problem with ruby?
