Standard out and standard error
I need to run a cronjob and in the cronjob I execute a script that if there is an error produces standard error so I do
/RUNMYSCRIPT 2> mylogfile.log
However, if it runs correctly, I don't get a standard error output, I get a standard out output. How do I redirect both standard error and standard out to the same file?
since I could get either.

Make sure you can write to the current directory for data files and that you always run from the same directory. The first time you run
the script, you will be asked to run with the --makedat option in addition to any other options. This will create the data files for the
hostnames and options your specify on the command line. You should only do this once. Subsequent runs should be made without the --make-
dat option.
