Capturing log of a shell script
Hi,

I have a script which does multiple tasks in sequence. When i execute the script, it runs and displays lot of messages for each of the steps on the console. Is there any way I can capture those messages and store it for audit purposes ?

Best Regards,

script > script_stdout

If you have, messages printed to error also, then,

Code:
script > script_stdout 2 > script_stderr
