How do I accomplish this command to redirect command output to multiple files, without retyping the later A=1>&/dev/tty 1>&${TMP}/lastcmdout every time?

I want to see output on the current TTY and redirect to files. The following accomplishes what I want, but I don't want to retype the ending.

$ cmd0 | cmd1 1>&/dev/tty 1>&${TMP}/lastcmdout

I tried making a script shttf:

${SHELL} -c ${1} 1>&/dev/tty 1>&${TMP}/lastcmdout

and invoking

$ shttf 'cmd1 | cmd2'

so I can see the output and also redirect it a file, however this isn't working.

I'm considering these shells: ksh88, ksh93, zsh.

  • I know nothing about ksh and little about zsh so this is just an idea that may work (with a different syntax) in one of these shells. In bash you can permanently change file descriptors with exec 1>&/dev/tty Commented Jan 25 at 20:49

    Are you looking for the tee command that seems to do what you want; cmd | tee /tmp/output will send the output of cmd to the screen and to the file. Commented Jan 26 at 0:33
