Thanks zazzybob

It worked for me. I did the following:-

Code:

a=`expr ${i} + ${j} >> $log_file 2>&1`

Now the error is going to the log file and not to the console. But please tell me what is wrong with the way I am doing for >> $log_file 2>&1. I want to append both the output as well as any errors to the log file. Please correct me if I am wrong.
