writing screen output (stdErr) and output (stdOut) of a Linux command to separate files

I am working with a command line package and to get its the output in a file I use:

my_command > outfile

but it also produces some information on the screen while running and writing the output in the outfile and I want the get the screen output in a second outfile. In the useful thread in here , there is no suggested way to separate these two outputs. Is there actually a way to separate these two outputs and write them in different files?

Sounds like the additional output comes from stderr, which you can capture with 2>:

mycommand > outfile 2> stderr
