logsave - save the output of a command in a logfile
Synopsis
logsave [ -asv ] logfile cmd_prog [ ... ]
Description
The logsave program will execute cmd_prog with the
specified argument(s), and save a copy of its output to logfile. If the
containing directory for logfile does not exist, logsave will accumulate the
output in memory until it can be written out. A copy of the output will also be
written to standard output.
If cmd_prog is a single hyphen ('-'), then instead of
executing a program, logsave will take its input from standard input and save
it in logfile
logsave is useful for saving the output of initial
boot scripts until the /var partition is mounted, so the output can be written
to /var/log.
Options
-a This option will cause the output to be appended to
logfile, instead of replacing its current contents.
-s -This option will cause logsave to skip writing to the
log file text which is bracketed with a control-A (ASCII 001 or Start of
Header) and control-B (ASCII 002 or Start of Text). This allows progress bar
information to be visible to the user on the console, while not being written
to the log file.
-v This option will make logsave to be more verbose in
its output to the user.
