Stdout + stderr to output.log
Code:
sh -xv SCRIPTNAME >output.log 2>&1

Or just stderr:
Code:
sh -xv SCRIPTNAME 2>output.log

One query, is it a command or script?

For a single command, an alternative:
Code:
 sh -xv SCRIPTNAME | tee output.log

For a script, better to add below at start (ofcourse shell dependent):
Code:
 
# Below lines is added for debugging purpose.
set -xv
