I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 and I manually updated my coreutils so that "tee" is now on version 8.27
I was running a script using bash where there is some write to pipe error at some point causing the tee command to exit abruptly while the script continues to run. The newer version of tee seems to prevent this.
I had installed the newer coreutils to /usr/bin and now running
bash -c './train.sh | /usr/bin/tee -a latest-log; exit ${PIPESTATUS[0]}'
works but
bash -c './train.sh | tee -a latest-log; exit ${PIPESTATUS[0]}'
does not
This might seem normal because vanilla "tee" should be the older version. But when I check with
tee --version
it is showing 8.27!
which tee
is also showing /usr/bin/tee
/usr/bin/tee --version
Is of course showing 8.27
This issue is killing me. Please let me know what could be wrong or what I can do to diagnose this.
