Pretty cool.

Related: anybody has ideas to achieve the following?

display the stdout of a program on the console and also write a gzipped version of stdout to a file.

I currently jump through some hoops (involving two term windows) to achieve. 'tee -a' to a named pipe in one window and in another window, 'gzip <' from that named pipe. Would prefer a single-window, single-command solution.

What's wrong with:

    cmd | tee >( gzip - > cmd.out.gz )

Yeah, I think this is probably going to work. Thx!

PS: 'inevitable', you made the same suggestion. But you seem to be hellbanned.

Something like this?

    ls -al | tee >(cat) | gzip -c

...or you could run something like

    cat /proc/`pidof program`/fd/2

That, of course, won't eliminate the need for a second terminal.

(change to your needs, stdin==1, stdout==2, stderr=3)

ls -al | gzip -c | tee out.gz | gzip -dc
