The erroremail assignments should not be a problem. The logfile was intended to be able to store the results in a file. Your myemail.txt file has the same purpose. Either option is fine. I suggest defining the output file as a variable as it is easier to manage in the future.

LOGFILE=/tmp/myemail.txt

you can use either "| tee -a ${LOGFILE}" or ">>${LOGFILE}" to populate the log file. The only difference is the "tee -a" option also shows the content on the screen so you can see what's happening when you execute it. If you do not need to watch the progress, and since you are already familiar with the >> redirect, stick with that.

BTW, you listed two different files names for the output and the email content. I'm not sure if that was your intent if you plan to send the output as the body of the email.
