Hi All,
I have a problem with a script using the tee command. The part of the
script in question which causes the problem is
SCRIPT A
...
...
...
$COMMAND | tee -a ${LOG_DIR}/${LOG_FILE}
...
...
...
END SCRIPT A
The problem is that the script hangs at this line. the problem is due to
the fact the the $COMMAND script creates a deamon process during its
execution and the tee command will not exit until $COMMANAND and all of its
child processes have also stopped. What I am looking for is alternative to
tee (to log results to a file as well as printing them on the screen)or some
way to force the completion of the command. Using '&' to put the command
into the background is not acceptable as SCRIPT A interacts with the user.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Richard...
