Question Need to create 2 log files
Hello, and thanks upfront for looking!

I've been searching the threads for a way to do this, and have come up empty. Then again I don't seem to use the right search criteria...

We have a driver script which logs output to files which are used to be viewed via an online scheduling tool:
$EXECDIR/$process >> $PROC_LOG_FILE 2>&1

Within the KSH script being called by the driver, we write to a different log file, which is used for ops support. The way it's set today, all we do is echo certain things to the local log file via "echo | tee -a $LOCAL_LOG_FILE" command. This is problematic because we don't capture all the STDOUT and STDERR in this log. I would like both log files to contain the same information without touching the command from the driver script.

Can someone help out?

Appreciate your help.
Thanks!
Pete

startfluxbox

STARTFLUXBOX(1) 						  Fluxbox Manual						   STARTFLUXBOX(1)

NAME

       startfluxbox - start a fluxbox session

SYNOPSIS

       startfluxbox

DESCRIPTION

       startfluxbox is a script which runs the file ~/.fluxbox/startup If it doesn't exist it will be generated.

       startfluxbox should be started from your ~/.xinitrc if you use startx, or ~/.xsession if you run a display manager, like xdm.

FILES

       ~/.fluxbox/startup
	   This file contains all commands that should be executed before fluxbox is started. The initial file contains helpful comments for
	   beginners. It also starts fluxbox.

EXAMPLES

       The default ~/.fluxbox/startup is as follows:

	   #!/bin/sh
	   #
	   # fluxbox startup-script:
	   #
	   # Lines starting with a '#' are ignored.

	   # Change your keymap:
	   xmodmap "$HOME/.Xmodmap"

	   # Applications you want to run with fluxbox.
	   # MAKE SURE THAT APPS THAT KEEP RUNNING HAVE AN ''&'' AT THE END.
	   #
	   # unclutter -idle 2 &
	   # wmnd &
	   # wmsmixer -w &
	   # idesk &

	   # And last but not least we start fluxbox.
	   # Because it is the last app you have to run it with ''exec'' before it.

	   exec fluxbox
	   # or if you want to keep a log:
	   # exec fluxbox -log "$fluxdir/log"

       If you need to start applications after fluxbox, you can change the exec fluxbox line above to something like this:

	   exec fluxbox &
	   fbpid=$!

	   sleep 1
	   {
		   xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr -fg white -bg black &
		   ipager &
		   gkrellm2 &
	   } &

	   wait $fbpid

       So xsetroot, ipager, and gkrellm2 will all be started after fluxbox, after giving fluxbox 1 second to startup.

       For more details on what else you can do in this script, see sh(1), or the documentation for your shell.
