user_linux · 06-17-2005, 01:27 PM

In my shell script i gave the following command to redirect the standard output to a logfile

exec >logfile

My question is

how do I restore the standard output to the terminal?

I think you can just redirect back to /dev/tty, although it would be more normal to put the commands you want redirected into another script and run that script with redirected output:

Code:

/path/to/script >logfile
