I want to display text output on the console that is always displayed on a small screen ( Adafruit 2.8 Inch TFT ) on my Raspberry Pi.
The following code works for showing that text output:
cd /home/pi/python_test_scripts_linux && sudo nice -n -20 /home/pi/python_test_scripts_linux/test_wrapper.py > /dev/tty1
Now I want to capture the output in parallel with seeing it on the screen - I have tried 'tee' but that does not show text on the screen and also does not capture it to file:
cd /home/pi/python_test_scripts_linux && sudo nice -n -20 /home/pi/python_test_scripts_linux/test_wrapper.py | tee /dev/tty1 /tmp/capture.txt
How can I redirect the output of my script to /dev/tty1
so I can see it on my screen but also capture the output to file?
UPDATE 1:
Per the answer below - I tried using 'script' - unfortunately it did not work:
script -c "cd /home/pi/python_test_scripts_linux && sudo nice -n -20 /home/pi/python_test_scripts_linux/test_wrapper.py > /dev/tty1" /home/pi/python_test_scripts_linux/report.html
UPDATE 2:
I also tried to 'tail' the output of the file that I redirected the output to into /dev/tty1, but it also did not work:
sudo tail -F /home/pi/python_test_scripts_linux/report.html > /dev/tty1 &
cd /home/pi/python_test_scripts_linux && sudo nice -n -20 /home/pi/python_test_scripts_linux/test_wrapper.py > /home/pi/python_test_scripts_linux/report.html
