close (STDERR) close (STDOUT) close (TEE) -----Original Message----- From: Larry Guest [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2004 11:22 PM To: 'Randal L. Schwartz'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Redirect stdout, stderr to file and stdout This is very close. But the script hangs and wont exit the "tee" command. I ran the script using "strace" and it sits there like this. write(1, "Backup and Replication is comple"..., 65Backup and Replication is complete for mysite.com ) = 65 close(3) = 0 munmap(0x401fd000, 4096) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGHUP, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGQUIT, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0 wait4(3576, And a ps-ef looks like this. root 3576 3575 0 02:19 pts/0 00:00:00 tee YourLogFileHere I have a close (TEE); at the end as well. Any thoughts? Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Randal L.
