Error Handling
Helo Experts,
I need a help in handling errors in shell script, wants my errors displayed in text file instead of command window..
My shell script is here;
cd /cygdrive/s/Files
for FILES in ./*.*
do
temp=`basename $FILES`
if cp $FILES /cygdrive/r/CopyFile1/$FILES; then
echo "copy successful"
echo "$temp ">> /cygdrive/r/LogFiles/logfiles.rtf
else
echo "copy failed"
fi
done
By doin if..else i can manage to output copy successful or failes..but i receive error thrown during cp $FILES /cygdrive/r/CopyFile1/$FILES.
That error is displayed in command wondow ( im using cygwin).
Anyone can guide me on how can i handle that error where the error should be in text file (error.txt) and my output only shows copy failed or successful
your help is much appreciated

TMPFILE(3) 1 TMPFILE(3)
tmpfile - Creates a temporary file
SYNOPSIS
resource tmpfile (void )
DESCRIPTION
Creates a temporary file with a unique name in read-write (w+) mode and returns a file handle .
The file is automatically removed when closed (for example, by calling fclose(3), or when there are no remaining references to the file
handle returned by tmpfile(3)), or when the script ends.
For details, consult your system documentation on the tmpfile(3) function, as well as the stdio.h header file.
RETURN VALUES
Returns a file handle, similar to the one returned by fopen(3), for the new file or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
tmpfile(3) example
<?php
$temp = tmpfile();
fwrite($temp, "writing to tempfile");
fseek($temp, 0);
echo fread($temp, 1024);
fclose($temp); // this removes the file
?>
The above example will output:
writing to tempfile
