Is there a way to tee stderr from a command that's redirecting error to a file?
I'm not a complete novice at unix but I'm not all that advanced either. I'm hoping that someone with a little more knowledge than myself has the answer I'm looking for.
I'm writing a wrapper script that will be passed user commands from the cron...
Ex:
The wrapper will execute them from the cron and log start and stop times and any errors or exit codes.
Question:
However in the case as above that a user is redirecting their errors to their own log file is there a good way to sample the error such that both the user log and the wrapper log get the error message?
Let me know if you need more info, thanks!
Currently I am grabbing the stderr away from the user command and sending it to a temp file. However this method removes the error from the user log.
If I forget to set up stderr redirection on execution of a script, is there a way to set that redirection post-exec? In other words, if I have a script running and no errors are being logged... and then I remember that I forgot the 2>&1 on the script... can I turn it on after the fact?

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?

Hello All,
I have a requirement to redirect stdout and stderr to 'log' file and stderr alone to 'err' file.
Can someone please help me with this?
Thanks in advance (2 Replies)
I know that
mmmmm 2> error.txt
will send the error message to the specified file instead of the screen. However, I have seen
>&2
in some scripts, and I can't get it to do anything. A source said it sends stdout and stderr to a file. What file?

git-sh-i18n
GIT-SH-I18N(1) Git Manual GIT-SH-I18N(1)NAME
git-sh-i18n - Git's i18n setup code for shell scripts
SYNOPSIS
. "$(git --exec-path)/git-sh-i18n"
DESCRIPTION
This is not a command the end user would want to run. Ever. This documentation is meant for people who are studying the Porcelain-ish
scripts and/or are writing new ones.
The 'git sh-i18n scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using .) by Git's porcelain programs implemented in shell script. It provides
wrappers for the GNU gettext and eval_gettext functions accessible through the gettext.sh script, and provides pass-through fallbacks on
systems without GNU gettext.
FUNCTIONS
gettext
Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper around printf(1). Will be replaced by a real gettext implementation in
a later version.
eval_gettext
Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper around printf(1) with variables expanded by the git-sh-
i18n--envsubst(1) helper. Will be replaced by a real gettext implementation in a later version.
