…Even More Redirection

Output Normally Displayed to the Screen Can Be Redirected to a File

$ pr prog1 >> prog1.pr$

$ pr prog1 >> prog1.pr$

If the file prog1.pr exists append the output of the pr command to prog1.pr

Note: Nothing is displayed to the screen

If the file prog1.pr does not exist send the output of the pr command to a new file prog1.pr

33

…Even More Redirection

UnixCommand | tee FileName Display Screen Output and Redirect to a

File

$ who | tee whoisonrdefe ttyp0 Aug 23 9:07 (dana)jsmith ttyp2 Aug 23 22:30 (dana)rdefe ttyp3 Aug 23 13:53 (dana)$

$ who | tee whoisonrdefe ttyp0 Aug 23 9:07 (dana)jsmith ttyp2 Aug 23 22:30 (dana)rdefe ttyp3 Aug 23 13:53 (dana)$
