recording command outputs in background
For example:

Code:
% ls /store > list.txt
% less list.txt
% 1.txt
% 2.txt

I want to execute 'ls' in verbose and store the result in background to 'list.txt' so i dont have to execute another command just to view the contents of the 'list.txt'

Code:
% ls /store > list.txt
% 1.txt
% 2.txt
%
% less list.txt
% 1.txt
% 2.txt

Code:
man tee

This will take stdin and write to both stdout and a file.

You can use <Command> | tee -a <logfile>. You will be able to see output of <Command> on your stdout and it will also be captured in the file <logfile>. If you use -a with tee it causes the output to be appended to the end of <logfile>
