somescript 2>&1 | tee log

You could also try using `script` and then
later filtering the output through something like

Howdy,

I have run several scripts and seen this behavior in all cases...

tee somescript | tee somescript.log 2>&1

The contents of the log is missing a lot of activity... messages and so
forth. Is it possible that there are other file descriptors being used for
these messages?

Regards,

George...
