Hi,
it comes to me that there is a better way to make the redirection via "tee"
less ugly in the code. It does not depend on the assumption that the log
file path is a single word.
First define in the script:
# Shell function which lets "tee" consume its standard input
my_log() {
tee -i -a "$HOME/my_logfile"
}
Then use it in the same script like
echo "Block count: "$blocks | my_log
Have a nice day :)
