Redirecting output for the entire script
Hi All,
I am trying to redirect output for every line in a korn shell script that is going to generate output and append it to a log file.
I have been doing this after EACH and every line that is going to produce output:
command 1 >> test.log
command 2 >> test.log
command 3 >> test.log
I would like to have both stderr and stdout appended to the log, and I know there is some easier way doing this than this repeition for every line.

The line command copies one line, up to and including a newline, from standard input and writes it to standard output. Use this command
within a shell command file to read from your terminal. The line command always writes at least a newline character.

EXAMPLES
To read a line from the keyboard and append it to a file, enter: echo 'Enter comments for the log:' echo ': c' line >>log
This shell procedure displays the message: Enter comments for the log:
It then reads a line of text from the keyboard and adds it to the end of the file log. The echo ': c' command displays a : (colon)
prompt. See the echo command for information about the c escape sequence.
