On linux/bash I'd like to append stdout of a command to a file, but not redirect it (i.e. I want it to to go to both console and file). Any clues?

I think "tee" is the right command for this -- unfortunately I don't know the exact syntax. Tee writes its input to stdout and to a file.

    I looked it up and the basic syntax is: command | tee file.txt

    If you want to append to the file (instead of overwriting), use command | tee -a file.txt
