redirecting output to multiple outputs
 

I want to redirect output to multiple places, how can this be done. Something simple as...

ls /etc redirected to both a file and monitor. I know how to redirect to a file and understand std output is monitor, but how do I do both in 1 command?

ls /etc > file and then???

Hope this help you ;)

sweet, thanks oliv, worked perfectly. What did the 2>&1 do though

If my memory is good: 2>&1 is used to duplicate stderr to stdout

that's what I though, but ls /etc isn't an err so why does it work. Wouldn't it just produce stnd out? Either way thanks Oliv!

It works because stdout remains stdout... You just add messages from stderr to stdout.
It's just a precaution if you process commands which can cause errors

the 2>&1 means that both stdout and sterr to the pipe and then to the tee command and to the file
