Bash Scripting: Redirect output of entire script to file & screen


Hi All,

Trying to get my head around this one.

How would I redirect stdout and stderr of an entire bash script to a file, but also leaving the output to the screen?

I've tried various combination of exec and tee, and I can't get anything to work =/

Any help is much appreciated.

First copy stderr to stdout, then use tee to copy stdout to a file:
Code:
script.sh 2>&1 |tee out.log

Does this work when you're invoking it directly at the CLI or can it be used in a script?
