This is from the HP-UX man page for tee:
DESCRIPTION
The tee command transcribes the standard input to the standard output
and makes copies in the files.
What this means in relative English is that the output is recorded to a file
(as in script_file > log_file) but you see it
The tee command duplicates its input, sending one copy to the file, and the
other to the screen (or the next command in the pipe).
You get to see your data and save it too.

I do not understand the difference between these two commands:
script_file > log_file
script_file
The TEE command basically duplicates the output. It sends a copy to the
file specified and a copy to the standard output. This is the difference in
just redirecting it. When you redirect it, none goes to standard out, just
to the file specified.

as well as writing it to the console. You could get a similar result by
tail -f log_file
script_file >log_file &
Are you writing a script that needs to have two stream outputs? Or is it
important that you watch the script as
