You don't always want to exit on error and even when you do you often want to output a meaningful error message so you should pass that in as well prior to testing the exit code.

I am not sure if your code is testing the return code of the command or the success of the redirection to the log, couldn't say without fooling around with it.

Probably better to tee the output rather than redirect it so you can see what is going on
