how to redirect output of multiple commands to one file

Question

i have a bash script, that has the following two commands:

ssh host tail -f /some/file | awk ..... > /some/file &

ssh host tail -f /some/file | grep          


        

Answer 1

The best answer to this is to probably get rid of the ssh .... | grep ... line, and modify the awk script in the other command to add the functionality you were getting from the grep command...

That will get rid of any interleaving issues as a bonus side-effect.
