How can I redirect and append stdout and stderr to a file when using cron? Here is my crontab file:

Cron gives me an 'unexpected character found in line' when trying to add my crontab file.

Dear all,
redirecting STDOUT & STDERR to file is quite simple, I'm currently using:
exec 1>>/tmp/tmp.log; exec 2>>/tmp/tmp.logBut during script execution I would like the output come back again to screen, how to do that?
Thanks

semctl
semctl(2) System Calls Manual semctl(2)
Name
semctl - semaphore control operations
Syntax
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/sem.h>
int semctl (semid, semnum, cmd, arg)
int semid, cmd;
int semnum;
union semun {
int val;
struct semid_ds *buf;
ushort array[];
} arg;
Description
The system call provides a variety of semaphore control operations as specified by cmd. The following cmds are executed with respect to
the semaphore specified by semid and semnum:
GETVAL Return the value of semval. For further information, see
SETVAL Set the value of semval to arg.val. When this command is successfully executed, the semadj value corresponding to the spec-
ified semaphore in all processes is cleared.
GETPID Return the value of sempid.
GETNCNT Return the value of semncnt.
GETZCNT Return the value of semzcnt.
The following cmds return and set every semval in the set of semaphores:
GETALL Place semvals into array pointed to by arg.array.
SETALL Set semvals according to the array pointed to by arg.array When this command is successfully executed, the semadj values
corresponding to each specified semaphore in all processes are cleared.
The following cmds are also available:
IPC_STAT Place the current value of each member of the data structure associated with semid into the structure pointed to by
arg.buf. The contents of this structure are defined in
IPC_SET Set the value of the following members of the data structure associated with semid to the corresponding value found in the
structure pointed to by arg.buf:
sem_perm.uid
sem_perm.gid
sem_perm.mode /* only low 9 bits */
This command can only be executed by a process that has an effective user ID equal to superuser or to the values of sem_perm.uid or
sem_perm.cuid in the data structure associated with semid.
IPC_RMID Remove the semaphore identifier specified by semid from the system and destroy the set of semaphores and data structure
associated with it. This cmd can only be executed by a process that has an effective user ID equal to either that of supe-
ruser or to the value of sem_perm.uid in the data structure associated with semid.
Return Values
Upon successful completion, the value returned depends on cmd, as follows:
GETVAL The value of semval.
GETPID The value of sempid.
GETNCNT The value of semncnt.
GETZCNT The value of semzcnt.
All other A value of 0.
Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
Diagnostics
The system call fails if any of the following is true:
[EINVAL] The semid is not a valid semaphore identifier.
[EINVAL] The semnum is less than zero or greater than sem_nsems.
[EINVAL] The cmd is not a valid command.
[EACCES] Operation permission is denied to the calling process. For further information, see
[ERANGE] The cmd is SETVAL or SETALL, and the value to which semval is to be set is greater than the system imposed maximum.
[EPERM] The cmd is equal to IPC_RMID or IPC_SET and the effective user ID of the calling process is not equal to that of superuser
nor to the value of sem_perm.uid in the data structure associated with semid.
[EFAULT] The arg.buf points to an illegal address.
