I'm running on Linux RHEL and it seems to work fine for me (10.2.0.4):

% expdp dherri/<password> directory=data_pump_dir tables=dch_itest 2>&1 | tee 
x.log

The file "x.log" gives the same output as what has been cut-pasted above from 
my putty session.

Is this the same thing you're trying to do?

Wow.  How weird is that?  

Thanks Randy!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you are right, Datapump doesn't work 
with tee. I believe its because the output is coming from the Oracle shadow 
process directly rather than being sent back through your exp process. It's 
simply not supported in 10g. Version 11 supports compression with a command 
line switch.

Friends -

I am trying to mechanize a datapump process and send an email if it fails.  
Problem is that 

expdp username/incrediblysecretpassword parfile=x.par|tee -a somefile

does not, in fact, tee -a anything!  I can do 

expdp username/incrediblysecretpassword parfile=x.par >somefile 2>somefile

but that disables output to the screen, which the user running the job 
certainly wouldn't like.  So... three questions...

1) How do you get output onto the screen and into a file without using tee?
2) How in the world did Oracle manage to disable tee in the first place?
3) Why would they want to?

Other than that, best wishes to all my good friends for a lovely holiday and/or 
quiet list day!

Thanks!
Bambi.
