Question

I know that I can let Linux to write the console output to a logfile by doing:

command > logfile.log

But this overwrites whatever was in the logfile before. How do I make it append the output to the logfile rather than overwriting it?

Answer 1

You can use >> for appending to the same logfile
for e.g cmd1 >> logfile.log
then use for other commnad like

cmd2 >> logfile.log

>> is used for append data to the file
