i have an expect script "E" that telnets to a remote machine and runs
a script "A" that in turn runs a script "B". B takes a long time to
run and I wanna run it nohup in case i lose my telnet connection. I'm
happy with nohup redirecting stdout to nohup.out or some file i
specify. but i also want to see the output on the screen when the
script is working. i.e. is there any way to get nohup to display the
output to my screen in addition to logging it to a file?


i'd appreciate the help.

regards,
sukh

nohup whatever | tee nohup.out

The truth you speak has no past and no future.  It is, and that's all it
needs to be.
