Ah - yes you guys are right, my code is a little messy. But, i'm reletively new at this and learning each day! My wheelhouse is DOS. (yes yes I know LOL )

I amended my script as such. However, an *.err file get written to the error file directory even when there isn't an error when using the exec 2> > command.

Ultimately, I dont even want to err file directory even created unless an error arises. Any way to amend my code to meet that goal?

Here's my code:

Code:
#:: SET SCRIPT NAME
_SN=TEST_SCRIPT

#:: SET PATHS
_MAINPATH=/home/essadmin/Hyperion_Batch/
_LOGPATH=Logs/
_ERRORPATH=Errors/

#:: SET DATE & TIME VARIBLES:
_DAY=$(date +%d)
_MONTH=$(date +%m)
_YEAR=$(date +%Y)
_DATESTAMP=${_YEAR}${_MONTH}${_DAY}
_HOUR=$(date +%H)
_MINUTE=$(date +%M)
_SECOND=$(date +%S)
_TIME=${_HOUR}${_MINUTE}
_DATETIMESTAMP=$_DATESTAMP-$_TIME

#:: Prepare Peloton POV folder structure
_ARC_LF=${_MAINPATH}${_LOGPATH}${_YEAR}${_MONTH}
_ARC_EF=${_MAINPATH}${_ERRORPATH}${_YEAR}${_MONTH}
    mkdir -p ${_ARC_LF}
    mkdir -p ${_ARC_EF}

_FILE=${_DATESTAMP}_${_SN}
_LOG_OUT=${_ARC_LF}/${_FILE}.log
_ERR_OUT=${_ARC_EF}/${_FILE}.err
    
exec 2>${_ERR_OUT} > ${_LOG_OUT}

#:: Execute script commands
echo ---------------------------------------------------------
echo "${_SN} beginning at ${_TIME}"                           
echo .                                                          
echo .                                                          
echo "Make Directory"                                         
echo ---------------------------------------------------------

mkdir -p ${_MAINPATH}TEST

if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
  echo ---------------------------------------------------------
  echo "Directory Made Successfully!"                           
  echo ---------------------------------------------------------
  fi
  exit 0
  
else
  echo -------------------------------------------------------
  echo "Directory Made Unsuccessfully!"                       
  echo -------------------------------------------------------
  fi
  exit 1

Thank you!

NAME

       Weather::Com::DayPart - class representing daytime or night part of a forecast

SYNOPSIS

	 [...]

	 my @locations = $weather_finder->find('Heidelberg');

DESCRIPTION

       Via Weather::Com::DayPart objects one can access the daytime or night part of a Weather::Com::DayForecast.

       Will return day or night.

       This attribute is dynamic language enabled.
