I'm not sure ... whether i have understood you correctly.

But here is advantage and using of logfiles.

Logfiles fecilitates you to see what happened to yr out put statements such as "echo " .... etc.

u can have history of the cmds that run as crons which outputs on shell ; The o/p is lost if the shell is lost.

If we write them as logfiles ... u can revisit yr o/p again ...


Here is an example ... how to write into the logfile ...


exec >> ./logs/logfile 2>&1


echo `$TIME` "----------- TODAY IS `date` ---------------\n"
echo $PATH
echo "Hello ..."



Check the ./logs/logfile ... u get all echo outputs would be writen there.

Git::Repository::Plugin::Log(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			 Git::Repository::Plugin::Log(3pm)

NAME
Git::Repository::Plugin::Log - Add a log() method to Git::Repository SYNOPSIS
# load the plugin use Git::Repository 'Log'; my $r = Git::Repository->new(); # get all log objects my @logs = $r->log(qw( --since=yesterday )); # get an iterator my $iter = $r->log(qw( --since=yesterday )); while ( my $log = $iter->next() ) { ...; } DESCRIPTION
This module adds a new method to "Git::Repository". METHOD
log( @args ) Run "git log" with the given arguments. In scalar context, returns a "Git::Repository::Log::Iterator" object, which can return "Git::Repository::Log" objects on demand. In list context, returns the full list "Git::Repository::Log" objects. Note that this can be very memory-intensive. See Git::Repository::Log::Iterator's documentation for details about how parameters are handled. AUTHOR
Philippe Bruhat (BooK), "<book at cpan.org>" ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Many thanks to Aristotle Pagaltzis who requested a "log()" method in the first place, and for very interesting conversations on the topic. SEE ALSO
