how to get silent installation status of application

Question

I am installing an application on Mac using silent installation. The problem here is I want to read/get the status of application installaton, I mean whether it is installed succesfully or not. Tried with redirecting console output to some text file but its not working.

I tried like,

./installer -s -v > logfile

it is showing output on console but not redirecting to the logfile.

Answer 1

You need to redirect stderr to stdout:

./installer -s -v 2>&1 logfile

Answer 2

Try ./installer -s -v &> logfile or ./installer -s -v 2> logfile
