8.1 Redirecting output of the make or patch commands

If you'd like logs of what those ``make'' or ``patch'' commands did, you can redirect output to a file. First, find out what shell you're running: ``grep root /etc/passwd'' and look for something like ``/bin/csh.''

If you're running sh or bash, ``(command) 2>&1 | tee (output file)'' will place a copy of the make in the file ``(output file).''

For csh or tcsh, the syntax ``(command) |& tee (output file)'' is for you.

For rc (Note: you probably aren't running rc) it's ``(command) >[2=1] | tee (output file).''
