I presume I'm not describing it with the correct terminology... Short version: In layman's terms, the Cygwin window cuts off at the top, and I'd like to know if the output that's been cut off is forever lost or if I might be able to save it to a file or view it some other way. Long version: Within a larger script, I copied over a thousand files from one server to another using the following command: cp -R -n -p -v "$package" "$destination" | tee -a "$destination"/copiedfiles.txt However, several files failed to copy due to permissions issues/etc, and the copiedfiles.txt file does not include the error information. The onscreen output does include this information (due to using the -v verbose option), however I can only scroll up to see about 300 lines of information (surprise! I wasn't expecting this). My question is: can I somehow access the output that was cut off? In the Cygwin FAQ, there seem to be some references to limited memory and increasing buffers, but I'm not sure I fully understand them. Also, I have already run the script and the process has already been printed to the screen. I'm hoping for a retroactive fix. Seems like a simple issue, but I can't find anyone else talking about it!
