Re: [Fab-user] redirecting output.

[Morgan Goose]

If you want to capture stdout and stderr on the the cli and pipe it to a file
you can use tee like was suggested and some bash fu:

    If you don't need it to display:
    yourcommand &>filename
    or if you do:
    yourcommand 2>$1 | tee filename
