About Logging the Output of a Management Command
If your management command returns a very long output, it makes sense to redirect it to a log file and read it in real time with the tail command:
(env)$ python manage.py my_command > ~/my_command.log 2>&1 &
(env)$ tail -f ~/my_command.log
>redirects the standard output to a file2>&1redirects the error output to the same file&runs the command in the background
This way you can inspect and analyze the output later.
