Automatically stdout redirection to a file

Hi,

I am wondering if there is a way how to automatically redirect stdout to a file when executing a command. Something like adding

Code:

 | tee -a outputfile.txt

after every command. I would find useful if I could see the output of a command executed in the past without executing it again if when cannot scroll the terminal window.

yes you can
[code]command > file.txt[code]
and

Code:

command >> file.txt

to append the output to an existing file

Hi,

Thanks jgallo but it is not what I need. I want everything what is displayed on the screen to be redirected to a file as well, without having to type

Code:

| tee -a outputfile.txt

after each command. Is there something like a global option, that can do that?

Thanks.
