Redirect echo output in shell script to logfile
I tried to manage using the below command. This will write the output in log file as well as print on console.
#!/bin/bash
# Log Location on Server.
LOG_LOCATION=/home/user/scripts/logs
exec > >(tee -i $LOG_LOCATION/MylogFile.log)
exec 2>&1
echo "Log Location should be: [ $LOG_LOCATION ]"
Please note: This is bash code so if you run it using sh it will through syntax error
You can easily redirect different parts of your shell script to a file (or several files) using sub-shells:
{
command1
command2
command3
command4
} > file1
{
command5
command6
command7
command8
} > file2
You can add this line on top of your script:
#!/bin/bash
# redirect stdout/stderr to a file
exec >logfile.txt 2>&1
OR else to redirect only stdout use:
exec > logfile.txt
