Code:
echo hello | tee -a logfile

the -a switch to tee appends to the file.

Printed to where? Try the tee command, and direct it to where you want your log printed (e.g./dev/tty).

you can use :

Code:
exec > $logfile

at the top and anything within the script will go to your logfile.

Or give more info of what your looking for

It'd easily be done outside the script with
Code:
./script | tee logfile

Otherwise, to print twice, you must print twice.
