Well, provided that LOGFILE is set at the time, it should create the file if it doesn't exist:

Code:
>>word             Use  file    word  as  standard output. If the file exists,
                   then output is appended to it (by first  seeking  to  the
                   end-of-file). Otherwise, the file is created.

otherwise it will just go to the screen.:
Code:
$ unset LOGFILE
$ echo "Some Warning" >> $LOGFILE
blah
