Actually, what I do for this stuff is set up the following in my .bashrc:

# automatically keep output of commands in a logfile for immediate
# subsequent inspection
alias ll="$PAGER /tmp/last.log"
l () { if [ "x$1" = "x" ] ; then echo "did you mean 'll'?" ; \
  else /usr/bin/env " $@" 2>&1 | tee /tmp/last.log ; fi }

l !! and then ll is less mental load for me.
