Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

How can i redirect the traces to both the console and to a file..
The way i was doing was:

/home/harika/harika/samp.exe
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "executed the first exe.." >> /dev/console;/home/harika/harika/trace.txt

/home/harika/harika/memset.exe
echo "executed the second exe..." >> /dev/console;/home/harika/harika/trace.txt

else
echo " the first executable is not properly executed..." >> /dev/console;/home/harika/harika/trace.txt
fi

Its giving me error as permission denied.. I have logged as root user and even changed the permissions of the /dev/console to 777...

Regards,
Harika

looking for something like this to write into console and file ...

Code:

./executable | tee filename_dump

Is there any reason that output is appeneded to a character special file ?
