Subject: Tee all output to log file?
Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2011 18:41:26 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LNX.2.01.1102011836170.2792@hp> (raw)
For scripting purposes I occasionally want a way to both record and
display all the output of a script. On several occasions now, I've
looked through the output redirection section of the manual, but I never
come up with quite what I'm looking for.
Essentially, when I want this, I usually want something like:
#!/bin/zsh
(( $+logfile )) && exec |& tee $logfile
Boiled down even further, it's really just this I'm looking for:
exec |& tee logfile
Is there something straightforward that I'm overlooking? Is there a
commonly used utility for this? (`script` comes to mind, but I recall
klunkiness when trying it in the past.)

Best,
Ben
