I'm glad to see that moreutils includes the command "pee":

  NAME
       pee - tee standard input to pipes

  SYNOPSIS
       pee ["command"]

  DESCRIPTION
       pee  is  like  tee but for pipes. Each command is run and fed a copy of
       the standard input. The output of all commands is sent to stdout.

       Note that while this is similar to tee, a copy of the input is not sent
       to stdout, like tee does.

  SEE ALSO
       tee(1)

Rich.
