A good easy Question :)


Ok. Say I want to take the output of a program and "record' it.

IE. Say I type Make......it does all of its stuff, and then exits.

How could I record all of that into a file?

Now, how could I record all of that WHILE the program is executing, not at the end of the execution? THANKS!!!

Sweet....as usual....I answered my own question.....

You can use:

nmap -sT localhost|cat >hist

And it puts it in there.....is there an easier way or is that normal? Thanks!

You've basically got a double redirection.

nmap -sT localhost > hist

should do it. Unless the pipe to cat is doing something I'm missing, which is very likely. Is that making the difference between on-the-fly reporting and a finished report? Is that what you were specifically interested in? I would think that would just drag it off to cat and spit out the file.

Anyway - depending on your specific goals, you might also want to look into 'tee'.
