STDERR to file & terminal using tee
Hi All,
Solarix/Bash v3x
Im trying to output any standard errors created by the script to a file using the below command:
. runDTE.sh 2> "$DTE_ERROR_FILE"
however the errors do get written to the dir/file stored in $DTE_ERROR_FILE but the error does not appear on the terminal screen in STDOUT. I know I have to use the tee command and have tried it but cannot get it to work. I tried
. runDTE.sh 2> "$DTE_ERROR_FILE" | tee -a
but get bash: /: Is a directory errors... am I using this correctly?
Thanks in advance to anyone that responds.
Regards
Satnam

Hi everyone,
KSH question: I know you can 'tee' STDOUT to have the output go to multiple targets; can you do the same with STDERR?
For example:

I have been doing this:
make xyz &> xyz.log &; tail -f xyz.log
The problem with this is that you never can ge sure when "make xyz" is done.
How can I pipe both stderr and stdout into tee so both stderr and stdout are copied both to the display and to the log file?
Thanks,

RBASH(1) General Commands Manual RBASH(1)
NAME
rbash - restricted bash, see bash(1)
RESTRICTED SHELL
If bash is started with the name rbash, or the -r option is supplied at invocation, the shell becomes restricted. A restricted shell is
used to set up an environment more controlled than the standard shell. It behaves identically to bash with the exception that the follow-
ing are disallowed or not performed:
o changing directories with cd
o setting or unsetting the values of SHELL, PATH, ENV, or BASH_ENV
o specifying command names containing /
o specifying a file name containing a / as an argument to the . builtin command
o specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the -p option to the hash builtin command
o importing function definitions from the shell environment at startup
o parsing the value of SHELLOPTS from the shell environment at startup
o redirecting output using the >, >|, <>, >&, &>, and >> redirection operators
o using the exec builtin command to replace the shell with another command
o adding or deleting builtin commands with the -f and -d options to the enable builtin command
o using the enable builtin command to enable disabled shell builtins
o specifying the -p option to the command builtin command
o turning off restricted mode with set +r or set +o restricted.
These restrictions are enforced after any startup files are read.
When a command that is found to be a shell script is executed, rbash turns off any restrictions in the shell spawned to execute the script.
