Did I say it was better than tee? I don't see that in my post.

Its just 'a way' of doing it.

IMO, doing this is worse than tee, because when emerge is still a foreground process you can Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Z it. This way you would have to terminate tail , fg [x], and Ctrl-_ it. Far slower if you notice the autocleaning is about to remove a package you don't want it to...

If you need hair trigger Ctrl-C, etc. control of your emerge than tee is for you I guess. I've just always done it with tail if I needed a log.

To each his own.
