Comment Uber-cool? Multiple redirection is decades old (Score 1) 148
It somewhat defeats the purpose of UNIX componentism to build this sort of functionality into the shell. Your "multiple redirection"
$ ls > foo > bar
can be accomplished in a shell-independent manner like this:
$ ls | tee foo > bar
or the more extreme case
$ ls | tee foo | tee bar | tee baz > quuz
Although I admit it's faster to type when the shell does it.
Learn your standard UNIX tools. They can do much more than you probably assume.
