Can you help me? > the syntax depends on the shell you're using. The above is for sh and descendents (e.g. bash). Try reading the man page for your shell. But for csh and its children (e.g. tcsh) you need to write: make world |& tee ... One other possibility is to use script. Just start script and then do your make world. All output will be written (by default) to a file called typescript. After the make completes, just exit the shell started by script and you can look at typescript to your heart's content. Check out the script man page. --- Gary Jennejohn (work) gjennejohn@frt.dec.com (home) garyj@muc.de (play) gj@freebsd.org
