hi all
i want to redirect output of stdout to a file and to screen itself
that is
bash 1>file.out
will redirect complete output to file.out
but i want that to appear in the screen and also the file

well first try

bash 1>file.out>/dev/tty1
(failed output only goin to /dev/tty1)

second try

bash 1 | tee file

(failed bash 1 is not recognized by tee)

3rd try

bash | tee file

(partial success but only stdout is redirected stderr still reamins)

an modification
2>1;
bash | tee file

supposed to work
but not workin

You were almost there.

tee only does stdout so as you expected you have to redirect stderr to stdout:

bash 2>&1 |tee file

You have to do the redirect for the command itself it can't be set as a global before the command as you tried. Also you have to say &1 rather than just 1.

2 = stderr
1 (&1) = stdout
