[SOLVED] Pipe output to 2 files but not STDOUT

[jake_harv88]

I want to have the output of a program go to 2 different files but not going to standard out. Is there a way to do this in bash? I know that in Z shell its really easy. Something like:

echo "test" >> file1 >> file2

Would work. But in Bash it doesn't seem that easy. I know that tee will send the output to 2 files but it also sends it to STDOUT. Something like:

echo "test" | tee -a file1 file2

Would put the word "test" in file1, file2, and STDOUT. Is there a way to just send the output to file1 and file2?

Anyway thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You could do this:

echo "test" | tee -a file1 file2 > /dev/null

or this:

echo "test" | tee -a file1 >> file2
