Node.js full console redirect into a file

Question

When we want a Node.js application to redirect every console.log and console.info into a file, we can use either >fileName or 1>fileName, which hooks into process.stdout.

And when we want a Node.js application to redirect every console.warn and console.error into a file, we can use 2>fileName, which hooks into process.stderr.

But how can we redirect the complete console output (for all console methods) into a single file?

I'm looking for something that works on both Windows and Linux.

The following syntax works: > filename 2>&1

Per this thread: How can I redirect and append both stdout and stderr to a file with Bash?

I don't know about Linux yet, but at least on Windows it doesn't work, producing error `The syntax of the command is incorrect.`. – vitaly-t Jul 24 '16 at 01:06
Ah, I skimmed too quicky and missed the "Windows" part. :-) – clusterdude Jul 24 '16 at 01:08

I have updated your answer to the one that answers it precisely ;) – vitaly-t Jul 24 '16 at 01:09
Hmm...the syntax looks pretty much identical: https://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/redirection.mspx?mfr=true – clusterdude Jul 24 '16 at 01:10
