Is there a way I can "redirect" stderr to stdout but continue to print stderr?
I can redirect stderr to stdout with
cmd 2>&1 | other_cmd
However, the above will no longer print the stderr from cmd onto my terminal. I would like to redirect it and see the logs on my terminal.
Note: I do NOT want to redirect to a file, therefore I don't think tee works for me.
Edit: it was pointed out that this is similar to How do I write standard error to a file while using "tee" with a pipe?
I would say that this is a simpler subset of that problem. Though they are similar, I think this question stands on its own due to the fact that most folks (me included) do not understand the intricacies of process substitution and file redirection. In particular, folks would have some difficulty with converting:
command > >(tee -a stdout.log) 2> >(tee -a stderr.log >&2)
Into the answer given here
cmd 2> >(tee /dev/tty) | other_cmd
Among other things, that answer does not use /dev/tty, which I did not know you could do!
In Bash
cmd 2> >(tee /dev/tty) | other_cmd
In any shell
{ { cmd 2>&1 >&3;} | tee /dev/tty;} 3>&1 | other_cmd
