The similar tcsh/csh idiom is:
 
command |& tee ~/uname.output

Another option is (still tcsh):

nohup command >& filename &
tail -f filename

you can control-c out of the tail, or probably even close the terminal
without affecting the "command" process, which is in the background.

bash for the above: 

nohup command 2>&1 filename &
tail -f filename

I write shell scripts that do something like this to a file
named something.$$, echo the name and quit. $$ becomes the pid
which unique enough to prevent overwriting.

Then I cut and past the name into a "tail -f"
