How can I run a Python script in the background and write all the data from the console to a separate file?

Question

Python

There is a question! How to run a script in the background, but at the same time make sure that everything that is output to the console is written to a separate file. I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 via SSH server. I'm running a Python bot script for Telegram. I do this with the command: python bot.py & > log.txt and the script runs in the background, but the errors that are written to the console are not written to the log.txt file

Answer 1

ampersand to execute in background must be the last character in command
to concatenate stderr and stdout use &>
example

#!/usr/bin/env python3

from __future__ import print_function
import sys
from time import sleep

print('print to stdout')
sleep(2)
print('print to stderr', file = sys.stderr)

python w.py &>w.log &

[1] 4591
[1]+  Done                    python w.py &> w.log

cat w.log

print to stderr
print to stdout

Answer 2

Add a stderror redirect to stdout:
