I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean to say you want to run the script and start seeing the output with the same command? If that is the case, there are several solutions. I usually use these two: $ nohup myscript &> myscript.log & less +F myscript.log $ nohup myscript 2>&1 | tee myscript.log If you actually want to run both scripts in the same shell and want to follow both outputs, try the following variation of the first command: $ nohup myscript1 &> myscript1.log & nohup myscript2 &> myscript2.log & less +F myscript1.log myscript2.log Then you can stop following the first log by hitting Ctrl+c and move on to the next file with :n you can then start following with F. You can go back again by repeating the same except change :n to :p. Hope this helps. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
