The > symbol is used to redirect output by taking the output from the command on the left and passing as input to the file on the right.
You can use cat with redirection to append a file to another file. You do this by using the append redirection symbol, ``>>''. To append one file to the end of another, type cat, the file you want to append, then >>, then the file you want to append to, and press <Enter>.
The >> shell command is used to redirect the standard output of the command on the left and append (add) it to the end of the file on the right.
Redirecting output to Multiple files and screen: If you want to redirect the screen output to multiple files, the only thing you have to do is add the file names at the end of the tee command.
You are looking for the tee command.
$ echo existing >file2
$ date | tee file1 >> file2
$ cat file2
existing

$ cat file1
