Hi there,

I am wanting to copy standard output to a file.

I know that 'tee' will do this fine.  

blah | tee it

but I am find that on some occasions processes will not output when pipping to
tee. 

other than screen what are some applications that could capture standard
output and dump to a file?

cheers,


Noah
