[clue-tech] Capturing output from apt-get and yum

[mike havlicek]

Hello,

I often use "2>&1 | tee logfile" after a command in bash to save the output. But often with package installations user confirmations (Yy/Nn) can be tricky. I definately know yum has thrown me a curve with the user
confirmation question not being displayed on the screen leaving me sitting there wondering why the operation hung. Any suggestions of a better way to do a redirect than:

bash% apt-get install foobar 2>&1 | tee apt-get_install_foobar.log

or the analog for yum.

Thanks,

-Mike
