Basically, what I would like to do is, instead of just redirecting the out from my terminal command to a file, I would like to have the information also show in the terminal session.

If I use ~$ command > output.log I am no longer able to see the command process in the terminal window and therefore I do not know when the command has finished processing without looking at the output.log file. The commands I run take a few minutes to process and produce quite a bit of output. (hence me wanting to capture that output) Any suggestions?
