redirecting input/output of program

[phillyj]

Hi all,
Beginner here. I need to output the results of the command "sensors-detect" to a text file but I'm have trouble figuring out how to do it. Because I need to input "yes or no", the "sensors-detect > abc.txt" command doesn't seem to work.

No help from google since I have no clue what to search for. Some help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi phillyj.

I'm not familiar with sensors-detect, but you may try to double the output both to a file and the screen using the command 'tee'.

Try this:

sensors-detect | tee abc.txt

Hope that helps, and tell us how it goes.
Regards.

I think his difficulty is that after typing the command, at some point he has to type "yes" or "no". In other words, input is required.

Use script

script log.txt

will start a new shell and everything will be printed to log.txt. Run your command and type exit when you are done.
