How to redirect you o/p to many files at the same time.
How to redirect your o/p to many files without using for loop.

Code:
For example:-

1-echo "blablabla" > out01 OUT
2-echo "blablabla" 1>out01 1>OUT
3-echo "blablabla" 1>&out01 1>&OUT


the above code does not work!
in "1" only the o/p goes to out01
in "2" & "3" the o/p goes to OUT

appreciate any help in advance.

The Z Shell has the multios option:

Code:
zsh-4.3.10[t]% print x >a >b >c
zsh-4.3.10[t]% head *
==> a <==
x

==> b <==
x

==> c <==
x

Or even:

Code:
zsh-4.3.10[t]% print y >>*     
zsh-4.3.10[t]% head *
==> a <==
x
y

==> b <==
x
y

==> c <==
x
y

With the other shells you should use the external command tee:

Code:
zsh-4.3.10[t]% bash -c 'echo z | tee a b c'
z
zsh-4.3.10[t]% head *
==> a <==
z

==> b <==
z

==> c <==
z

Thanks radoulov it worked fine using tee but one problem how to eliminate the tee
o/p in below (red bold font).

Code:
bash-3.00$ bash -c 'echo z | tee a b c'
z
bash-3.00$head *
==> a <==
z

==> b <==
z

==> c <==
z
