Friends,

I was able to get ouput on console and log file, however the output in log file is not being updated but re-written. Guess we need to have >> at step to append output to be written in log file every time the script runs. Below is the updated script now.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
x=${0##*/}
LOGFILE="x.log"
echo "CAUTION : Files once deleted cannot be restored"
printf 'Would you like to continue? ("yes" or "no"): '
read INPUT
case "$INPUT" in
(yes)   while read -r i
        do      date -u "+ %Y%m%d %H:%M  GMT -[*] - Deleting files $i"
                rm -r "$i" 2>&1
        done < deletefiles.txt;;
(no)    date -u '+ %Y%m%d %H:%M GMT - [!] - Deleting files cancelled';;
(*)     date -u '+ %Y%m%d %H:%M GMT - [!] - Invalid choice, choose again';;
esac | tee $LOGFILE

apr::date

libapache2-mod-perl2-2.0.7::docs::api::APR::Date(3pm)	User Contributed Perl Documentation  libapache2-mod-perl2-2.0.7::docs::api::APR::Date(3pm)

NAME

       APR::Date - Perl API for APR date manipulating functions

Synopsis
	 use APR::Date ();

	 # parse HTTP-complient date string
	 $date_string = 'Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT';
	 $date_parsed = APR::Date::parse_http($date_string);

	 # parse RFC822-complient date string
	 $date_string = 'Sun, 6 Nov 94 8:49:37 GMT';
	 $date_parsed = APR::Date::parse_rfc($date_string);

Description
       "APR::Socket" provides the Perl interface to APR date manipulating functions.

API

       "APR::Date" provides the following functions and/or methods:

   "parse_http"
       Parse HTTP date strings

	 $date_parsed = parse_http($date_string);

       arg1: $date_string ( string )
	   The date string can be in one of the following formats:

	     Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT  ; RFC 822, updated by RFC 1123
	     Sunday, 06-Nov-94 08:49:37 GMT ; RFC 850, obsoleted by RFC 1036
	     Sun Nov  6 08:49:37 1994	    ; ANSI C's asctime() format

	   refer to RFC2616 for the details (GMT is assumed, regardless of the used timezone).

       ret: $date_parsed ( number )
	   the number of microseconds since 1 Jan 1970 GMT, or 0 if out of range or if the date is invalid.

       since: 2.0.00

       Remember to divide the return value by 1_000_000 if you need it in seconds.

   "parse_rfc"
       Parse a string resembling an RFC 822 date.  It's meant to be lenient in its parsing of dates.  Hence, this will parse a wider range of
       dates than "parse_http()".

	 $date_parsed = parse_rfc($date_string);

       arg1: $date_string ( string )
	   The date string can be in one of the following formats:

	     Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT  ; RFC 822, updated by RFC 1123
	     Sunday, 06-Nov-94 08:49:37 GMT ; RFC 850, obsoleted by RFC 1036
	     Sun Nov  6 08:49:37 1994	    ; ANSI C's asctime() format
	     Sun, 6 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT   ; RFC 822, updated by RFC 1123
	     Sun, 06 Nov 94 08:49:37 GMT    ; RFC 822
	     Sun, 6 Nov 94 08:49:37 GMT     ; RFC 822
	     Sun, 06 Nov 94 08:49 GMT	    ; Unknown [drtr@ast.cam.ac.uk]
	     Sun, 6 Nov 94 08:49 GMT	    ; Unknown [drtr@ast.cam.ac.uk]
	     Sun, 06 Nov 94 8:49:37 GMT     ; Unknown [Elm 70.85]
	     Sun, 6 Nov 94 8:49:37 GMT	    ; Unknown [Elm 70.85]

       ret: $date_parsed ( number )
	   the number of microseconds since 1 Jan 1970 GMT, or 0 if out of range or if the date is invalid.

       since: 2.0.00

       Remember to divide the return value by 1_000_000 if you need it in seconds.
