I don't understand what you want. Your script doesn't produce any output (other than the exit code).
Add echo or printf or some other statements producing the output you want to include in your log file. Then, if all output produced by your script should be included in the log file, redirect the output of your script to that file or add an exec statement in your script to redirect all output (or output redirected to stderr) to your log file. Or, if you want some output produced by your script to go to standard output and some other output to go into your log file, just redirect the output from each output statement into the appropriate file.

thanks for your help don. i would need to assign the exit status[0,1] to a variable $var and redirect it to the log file.
You can't write to a log file after you exit.
Why do you care if the exit status is stored in a variable before you write it?
What is the name of the log file?
Do you want to append data to the end of the log file, or do you want to replace the entire contents of your log file each time you run your script?
Do you really just want to write a 0 or 1 to your log file? Or, do you want the name of the program producing that line to be included in the log file?
If you just want a 0 or 1 in a file, why not just capture the exit status of your program after it completes instead of creating a file?
Do you want a timestamp showing when that entry was written to your log file? If you do, what format do you want to use? And, do you want to use local time or coordinated universal time (AKA GMT)?

If you read this thread, you will see an example of a script and a logging utility script that can be plugged into any shell script - it should manage to deliver most of your functions without any modification.

Hi Team -
I"m very new to Shell Scripting so I have a rather novice question. My forte is Windows Batch Scripting so I was just wondering what the Shell Script equivalent is to the DOS command %~n?
%~n is a DOS variable that dispayed the script name.
For instance (in DOS):
