<div class="moz-cite-prefix">It depends on the definition of "copy"
and the use case. Mostly, I've only used tee for logging, but if
you're trying to copy something to multiple destinations, what
don't you like about "cat sourcefile | tee DEST1 DEST2"? If it's
just that it spits gibberish to stdout, it could be redirected to
/dev/null. What no combination of cat/tee/redirection will do is
preserve chmod information, which is probably a problem.<br>

<div aria-label="Compose body">Hey, I think that most of us are
familiar with the 'tee' command, which allows the user to
"split" a single input into two output streams. I was asked
yesterday if there was a way to do the same thing with files
that are being copied,and I had to admit that I had no idea,
I'd never considered that before.<br>
<br>
I thought I'd take just a minute to ask the group if anyone
knows of a way to copy an arbitrary "file (or group of files,
some of which might be compiled binaries, etc.)" from a single
source to two separate destinations simultaneously. I'd
*briefly* considered something like <br>
<br>
"cat sourcefile | tee DEST1 DEST2"<br>

easily possible, but the question kind of intrigued me, &
I figure I might learn something cool... ;-)<br>

Thanks guys!<br>
