Output stderr to 2 or more files
Hello all,

I tried a few variations but can't get this to work.

I am trying output an hourly and daily log.

Code:
# hourly log file (f1)
# daily log file(f2)
f1="/app/var/log/hourly/somescript.`date +%Y%m%dT%H0000`.log"
f2="/app/var/log/daily/somescript.`date +%Y%m%dT000000`.log"

bash somescript.sh >> $f1 2>&1 &

# but i would also like it to output to $f2 as well

thanks in advance.

LAVco

Hi.

If I understand you...

Code:
# stdout to multiple files, using tee...
bash somescript.sh | tee -a $f1 >> $f2 2>&1 &

# stderr only to multiple files using tee...
bash something.sh 2>&1 > /dev/null | tee -a $f1 >> $f2

thank scottn.

I tried:
Code:
# stdout to multiple files, using tee...
bash somescript.sh | tee -a $f1 >> $f2 2>&1 &

and output was redirected to the terminal having no output to either file.

However, your second suggestion works great!

Thank you.
