ha ha thanks agama, I guess i'll keep my temporary files then , they're not so bad after all!!
It's a pity though, i was hoping some kind of easy redirection like
It wouldn't seem so hard to provide in shells nowadays, since the same can be achieved with a few commands using files. Anyway, I guess the question of whether it is actually useful or not is worth asking.
Anyway thanks to both of you!
EDIT: well I settled for:
If something thinks of something much better, let me know!!

How can I redirect and append stdout and stderr to a file when using cron? Here is my crontab file:
*/5 * * * * /dir/php /dir/process_fns.php >>& /dir/dump.txt
Cron gives me an 'unexpected character found in line' when trying to add my crontab file.

I have been doing this:

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,

working on a c sell script
I think I understand the concept of it, which is:
filename >> file.txt (to appaend)
or filename | tee -a file.txt (to append)
The problem is that my shell script is used with several parameters, and these commands don't seem to work with just filename. They... (2 Replies)

stdin
FD(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual FD(4)NAME
fd, stdin, stdout, stderr -- file descriptor files
DESCRIPTION
The files /dev/fd/0 through /dev/fd/# refer to file descriptors which can be accessed through the file system. If the file descriptor is
open and the mode the file is being opened with is a subset of the mode of the existing descriptor, the call:
fd = open("/dev/fd/0", mode);
and the call:
fd = fcntl(0, F_DUPFD, 0);
are equivalent.
Opening the files /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout and /dev/stderr is equivalent to the following calls:
fd = fcntl(STDIN_FILENO, F_DUPFD, 0);
fd = fcntl(STDOUT_FILENO, F_DUPFD, 0);
fd = fcntl(STDERR_FILENO, F_DUPFD, 0);
Flags to the open(2) call other than O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY and O_RDWR are ignored.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
By default, /dev/fd is provided by devfs(5), which provides nodes for the first three file descriptors. Some sites may require nodes for
additional file descriptors; these can be made available by mounting fdescfs(5) on /dev/fd.
