When I do yaourt -Syu sometimes there is such a long log in the console so that the buffer gets full and some information is lost. As the information is important sometimes I´d like to save everything that´s logged by yaourt/pacman in a file.
Doing yaourt -Syu > file does save things to file, but then you cannot see what´s going on in the console. Is it possible to have both?
Answer
Yes, pipe it to tee
From the tee man page:
NAME
tee - read from standard input and write to standard output and files
SYNOPSIS
tee [OPTION]... [FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
Copy standard input to each FILE, and also to standard output.
So your command should be yaourt -Syu | tee yaourt.log
