The second one copies output to the log file.

It still appears on your screen as well.

                    to ORACLE-L

I do not understand the difference between these two commands:

           script_file > log_file
           script_file | tee log_file

As I understand, the first runs and redirects its standard output to a log file. The second runs and pipes its standard output to the tee command, which copies its standard input into its standard output. I have been instructed to use the latter, but dont want to do it blindly without understanding why.

Thanks
Erik
