I need to redirect stdout to console along with stdout and stderr redirected to a file. This needs to be done inside a shell script. I found the below code to redirect both to console and log file, now I need to remove stderr to console.
exec > >(tee -i "output.log") 2>&1
Could you please help me here?
Derived from this answer: How do I get both STDOUT and STDERR to go to the terminal and a log file?
I tested the following code:
echo '' > out.log
exec 1> >(tee -a -i out.log) 2> >(tee -a -i out.log > /dev/null)
>&2 echo yay
echo nay
The STDERR content goes to file and not to console, and STDOUT goes to both.
I think you should launch it like this:
your-command 2>&1 | tee -i "output.log"
It will pipe both stdin and stderr to tee -i output.log, which will echo text before writing.
Or, to ignore stderr (pipe to /dev/null):
your-command 2>/dev/null | tee -i "output.log"
Or your command modified with /dev/null redirection:
exec > >(tee -i "output.log") 2>/dev/null
It'd be something like this, but you don't have to tee that second one.
exec 1> >( tee stdout.txt ) 2> stderr.txt
output 1 is tee'd so you see it on screen, and in stdout.txt
errors 2 just goes straight to stderr.txt
