Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers How do I add a log file path to a vi file to monitor all the changes made to the file? Post 303043029 by zxmaus on Thursday 16th of January 2020 02:14:53 AM

you could just configure a logfile within your script.
Code:
LOGFILE=/whatever/you/want/logfile

Alternatively you just run the script with logfile options. For example:
To put output in logfile:
Code:
script > logfile

To put output and errors in logfile:
Code:
script 2>&1 > logfile

To separate:
Code:
script 1> logouput 2> logerror
