Output of command to 2 separate file? - UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

TheCrunge · #1 12-08-2005

How would I echo the same results to two files? One is a running log, and the other is a cache, or sort.

Code:

echo "Hello World" >> /Logs/File1 & /tmp/file2

I would just copy it from one place to the other, but the Log keeps history, where I want the /tmp to hold only stuff per session. I tried to cat the tmp file, and echo it into the log, but the formatting got all screwed up.

Thanks!

Try:
echo "Hello World" | tee -a /Logs/File1 > /tmp/file2
