Specs: WinXP, Various

Guys - On Linux I can:

acmd >>my.log 2>>my.log

and this works perfectly.

On this WInXP box if I try that, I get message:

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

Is there a way to accomplish what I am trying to do?

Thanks, Guy

What are you trying to do exactly? Redirect the output to 2 seperate files? If so:

dir file.txt 2>&1

No, not separate files.

I want to redirect stdout and stderr to the same file.

Output of those streams should be mingled/merged in the specified file.

Maybe I am asking the wrong question.

On linux I will do:

somecmd 2>&1 | tee logfile.txt

How do I do that in Win?

I think somebody, probably IVO, posted a fix a few months ago but I can't find it. LOL

Maybe a new thread with a subj like 'redirect stderr in NT'.

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
