Redirecting to Files and STDIN

Hi,
tee command can be used to read from standard input and write to standard output and files. So, I can, for example, do the following:

Code:

(date; users; uptime;)| tee mylog.txt

How can I modify the code so that the output is appended to the file (not overwritten)?

Please notice that I want the output to both the STDOUT and the file.

Thanks in advance.

tee has a "-a" command-line option to do what you want.
Read the manual page 'man tee' for more info.
