Question

I know how to run a script in daemon mode (add a & to it):

mycmd -y config.yaml run&

However, the script I’m running has lots of “print” statements, which ruin my output. Is there a way to say “output this to log.txt”?

This didn’t work:

mycmd -y config.yaml run& >> log.txt

Hmm…

Answer 1

Another way to do it:

mycmd -y config.yaml run >> log.txt 2>&1 &

The 2>&1 merges stderr into stdout so that everything goes into log.txt.
