| Sep 22, 2023 at 5:32 | comment | added | Kamil Maciorowski | The question here is "WHY doesn't this work as I expected?", NOT "how to make it work?" the alleged duplicate asks. None of the answers there explain why multiple redirections work as they work, so none of the answers there answers this question. "Fixing" this by answering this question there makes no sense because that question absolutely does not ask what this question asks. The two questions are related and linking them is a good idea (in terms of "linked" in the right column →), but they are not duplicates. I'm voting to reopen. | |

In sh and bash (and probably others) you can open multiple output files like so: cat somefile >file1 3>file2 4>file3. This means you start the program with two extra files opened as fileno 3 and fileno 4. Of course,cat will ignore those, but it can be useful if you want to have different log files, for example, or you're somehow splitting the input in 3 parts, etc.

A > redirects the output to a file, period. Use tee(1) if you want to duplicate output to a file and send it on.
