tee and some commands

[Oliver Marshall]

Hi chaps

Anyone noticed that tee doesn't seem to log the output from some commands to a log file?

I am using tee in a script on the following line;
    ncftpput -u $ftp_user -p $ftp_pass -R -m -v ftp.mydomain.local / $dest/\archives/$1/ | tee -a $out_file

Instead of logging to a log file via tee it now outputs two copies of the FTP output to the console and nothing to the log file.

Is there a way I can work around that or is it a limitation in the ncftpput command do you think?

Olly
