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.
Regards,
Zach Curtis

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?
