How to redirect logs using nohup in Linux?
In Linux, you can redirect the nohup logs to a specified file using the following methods:
- Redirect the log output to a file using the redirection symbol >, for example:
- Run the command in the background and redirect the output to a logfile called logfile.log.
- This will write the output of the command to the file logfile.log, the ‘&’ symbol is used to run the command in the background.
- To redirect both standard output and standard error to the same file, you can use the following method:
- Run the command in the background and redirect both standard output and standard error to a log file named “logfile.log” using nohup.
- This will write the output and error messages of the command to the logfile.log file.
- If you want to append the output to a file instead of overwriting the existing content, you can use the >> symbol, for example:
- Run the command in the background and redirect the output to a file called “logfile.log”.
- This will append the output and error messages of the command to the logfile.log file.
Note: In the above method, the “command” refers to the command that needs to be executed, and “logfile.log” is the log file to write to.
