Are you trying to get a log from konsole or the application?

What happens if you just run:

Code:

application >> applog.txt

Also you may need to explain further what you mean by 'not working'? ie is there an error message?

This worked for me

Quote:

queenz@martin-lucid:~$ vlc >> file.txt

then you can go and open your file ~/file.txt and you will see the output of that program.

mine was..

What is Konsole supposed to be doing there?

Some applications print using stderr instead of stdout.
You could try either:
command 2>logfile
or
command >logfile 2>&1

The later will redirect stdout to a log file and redirect stderr to stdout.
