Solaris 8: Redirect standard error two places

I have been struggling to redirect standard error and standard out how I
want them to be directed. I have been through the Sun documentation and
many, many web sites with no luck.

I have a script that we use to install and configure some applications. What
I am trying to accomplish is redirecting standard error to a log file and to
the terminal/console.

- I am using KSH
- Standard out is redirected to a log file and all standard out from system
commands and scripts I am calling are redirected to this log file. The
operator only sees the standard out I let them see
- Standard error should be redirected to the same log file plus I want it on
the console/terminal too. I want operators to see the error and have it in
the log
- I currently redirect standard out to log.file and standard error to
log.file.trap since I could not get the redirect to work.

Is this doable?
