The easiest was is to do a "tee | sh prog | tee" with some options
here is what I use:

tee -i -a file.log | sh prog | tee -i -a file.log

the -i causes interrupts to be ignored, end tee with a ^D and the
-a says to append to the log file.

The first tee makes a copy of standard in and passes it along as 
input to prog, the second tee takes the output, makes a copy and
sends it to std out (usualy the terminal).  The "sh prog" is if the
prog needs to run under a different shell than you are currently 
running.  If the current shell you are running is ok, then
skip the "sh" part of the "sh prog".

This will work in UN*X System V Release 2.0, 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2.
