The problem with tail -f is that there is a delay between what's being written to the file and what tail outputs.
I have removed using tee and I just redirect to a file. But still want to look at the file being updated. My problem with tee is that if my computer gets in sore sort of problem and have to restart or something, the program will be killed. I am putting the command to run the program on my computer but am running the thing on other machines.

Someone recently advised me to use the tee command to write to standard out.
Why would you pipe your commands to
tee -a <filename>
rather than just using
>> <filename>
?
For example:
date|tee -a myfile
seems to be the same as
date >> myfile
Is there a benefit to... (5 Replies)

TEE(1) User Commands TEE(1)
NAME
tee - read from standard input and write to standard output and files
SYNOPSIS
tee [OPTION]... [FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
Copy standard input to each FILE, and also to standard output.
-a, --append
append to the given FILEs, do not overwrite
-i, --ignore-interrupts
ignore interrupt signals
-p diagnose errors writing to non pipes
--output-error[=MODE]
set behavior on write error. See MODE below
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
MODE determines behavior with write errors on the outputs:
'warn' diagnose errors writing to any output
'warn-nopipe'
diagnose errors writing to any output not a pipe
'exit' exit on error writing to any output
'exit-nopipe'
exit on error writing to any output not a pipe
The default MODE for the -p option is 'warn-nopipe'. The default operation when --output-error is not specified, is to exit immediately on
error writing to a pipe, and diagnose errors writing to non pipe outputs.
