[Solved] Writing output to the console
Hi All,

I have written one script in which am writting the result to the log file.
I want to display the results on the console also

Code:
 
if [ -n "$result" ];
then
echo "$result doesnot match with the host file">>InputHostsFileErrors.txt
else
echo "$result input matches with the host file">>InputHostsFileSuccess.txt
rm -f InputHostsFileSuccess.txt 
fi

can you please let me know how can I write it the results on console also?

Thanks for your Input. But it is writing everything to the console. I want to write only the thing which am writing to the log file

Code:
 
echo "$result doesnot match with the host file">>InputHostsFileErrors.txt

To the console also. So user can view on console also and if needed see in the log file.

Hi,

I dont know if this is the best way of doing this, but it works.

Code:
output()
{
        echo $1 >> $2
        echo $1
}

if [ -n "$result" ];
then
output "$result doesnot match with the host file" InputHostsFileErrors.txt
else
output "$result input matches with the host file" InputHostsFileSuccess.txt
rm -f InputHostsFileSuccess.txt 
fi

Declare a method for doing this.

see "man tee" ...
Code:
echo "$result doesnot match with the host file" | tee -a InputHostsFileErrors.txt

The command "echo "$result doesnot match with the host file" | tee -a InputHostsFileErrors.txt" only works if you want the information displayed on the terminal you are using. To display it on the console try:
Code:
echo "$result doesnot match with the host file" | tee -a InputHostsFileErrors.txt > /dev/console 2>&1

Sorry previous post was a little incorrect. While it would work it wouldn't capture and log STDERR correctly. Try this:
Code:
echo "$result doesnot match with the host file"  2>&1 | tee -a InputHostsFileErrors.txt > /dev/console
