Managing logs in shell script
Hi,
I need write a shell script which should be executed from the crontab every day.
This shell script is running several other shell scripts , and each one of them is writing to its log file.
Few of the the shell script are also connecting using ssh to some other users on remote machine , do what they need to do ,
and go back to the master script to keep on with the prgram.

For example :
on crontab : master_script.sh > /tmp/master_log
The the master script start to execute the following shell scripts:
script1 > /tmp/log1
script2 > /tmp/log2
script 3 connect ussing ssh to remothe machine > /tmp/log3
script4 > /tmp/log4
I would like to have one master log file , so i can see the progress of the program.
Please advise what is the best way to achive this goal
Thanks
