It's not easy to formulate the question properly, maybe it helps when I describe what I'd like to do.
I want to execute a command and pipe it's output into a tool called pastebinit
which uploads the STDOUT output to pastebin.
That works very well, however I would like to send the command itself on top of it but w/o typing it a second time.
Is there some command I can launch "my command" with that will
- Print "my command" on STDOUT
- Executes "my command"
I have the feeling that something like that exists but as hard as it is to formulate such a question properly, I was not able to dig it up with google so far.
