I would like to see it on the screen and have tried to use "tee" a shown
below.

I obviously had the wrong format and will check the man page.
[Later]
I tried " cat /etc/fstab | tee screen_capture"
    it worked fine.
I tried " cpio -icdumv <archive_all | tee screen_capture "
    it worked for creating the files.  The file screen_capture was
    created but had zero bytes in it.

| Hi,
|     Probably not what you are looking for capturing the output, but
| under bash I sometimes do the following:
|
| ./myscript  > tmp.out 2>&1

This worked fine Thanks!

| How about: cpio -icdumv < archive_all > output.txt
|

Sorry, this did not work.

This worked fine.   Thanks!!

Although as the man page points out the printed version of the capture file
is fine,  to "vi" or "cat" the file is a bit painful because of all of the
control characters that are captured.






Thanks one and all for your help.
