Nico, You can use Screen's internallo logging feature to write the output to a file: screen -L -d -m `/path/to/my/exec logging of the current window to the file "screen-log.n".

The idea is to use screen for this, and I went ahead and typed $ screen -d -m /path/to/my/exec which puts the job nicely in the background. Let's log stdout: $ screen -d -m /path/to/my/exec | tee output.log Ah, that doesn't work as the it tees the output of `screen` to the file. Hmm.. How about $ screen -d -m `/path/to/my/exec | tee output.log` Now, it directs the output alright, but the session isn't detached anymore. I don't quite understand why this happens, so if you guys have a clue that'd be great. I'm also looking for a solution to the problem of course.
