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?

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.
