STDOUT not required
Hi,

Thanks for replying, I did try that one wit <&1 but I did not want any STDOUT going to the file, only STDERR, so I can terst if any STDERR occured within the file (ie file is non-zero and taker appropriate action.

So in summary..I want:
1. STDERR to write to the file
2. STDERR to also go to the terminal
3. STDOUT NOT to go to the file.

is thare any way for this to occur?

Kind regards
Satnam

tee

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.
