[clug] Tee eats the return code of the previous entry in the pipeline

[Michael Still]

Consider this:

 > cat fail
#~/bin/bash
exit 1
 > ./fail; echo $?
1
 > ./fail | tee - /tmp/foo; echo $?
0

This makes me very sad. I want to be able to run a command, dump it's 
output to a file and to the console (in real time), and still have 
access to it's return code.

Anyone have any suggestions as to how I might go about achieving that?

Thanks,
Mikal
