A systems administrator wants to review the logs from an Apache 2 error.

Log monitoring is a common troubleshooting task in Linux system administration, and Linux+ V8 covers command-line tools for real-time log analysis. The requirement in this scenario is twofold: view log entries as they occur and simultaneously save them to another file.

The command tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log | tee logfile.txt fulfills both requirements. The tail -f command follows the log file in real time, displaying new entries as they are written. The pipe (|) sends this output to the tee command, which writes the data to logfile.txt while also displaying it on standard output.

The other options are insufficient. Option A redirects output to a file but prevents real-time viewing. Option C appends output but still suppresses terminal display. Option B is syntactically invalid and does not use a proper command for writing output.

Linux+ V8 documentation specifically references tee as a useful utility for duplicating command output streams. This makes option D the correct and most effective solution.
