UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I am using a third party API to get some real time feed. When I run the command it shows the results properly:

etd@mhs-apps5009 $ mamalistenc -m lbm -tport mamaqa -S MLALERTS -s KANA wFinancialStatus
Type CTRL-C to exit.
(null).MLALERTS.KANA Type: INITIAL Status OK
wFinancialStatus | 266 | CHAR | SDB-Restriction=4

<pressed ctrl-c>
etd@mhs-apps5009 $

But, when I try to redirect the output to a file nothing get captured.

etd@mhs-apps5009-d $ mamalistenc -m lbm -tport mamaqa -S MLALERTS -s KANA wFinancialStatus >out.txt

<pressed ctrl-c>
etd@mhs-apps5009-d $

Any ideas??

thanks for any help.

Have you tried to use tee command yet?

thanks vbe for pointing on tee.

well, its working to an extent, and only when I am invoking the command through a shell script like ./env_conf.sh |tee out.txt

Still wondering whats wrong with the command:
mamalistenc -m lbm -tport mamaqa -S MLALERTS -s KANA wFinancialStatus| tee out.txt

Do a ps -ef |grep mamali
and then of the PID found, you may find why the tee is not giving expected output:
a (or more) new process(es) launched?

On a tangential note, would it be useful at all to run it under script instead?

yeah, now i am able to capture the output in a file.

script -q -c "mamalistenc -m lbm -tport mamaqa -S MLALERTS -s KANA wFinancialStatus" out.txt >/dev/null

thanks for every help
