How to store the outputs of a shell script inside a log file???
My shell script file name is test.sh and the contents of this test.sh file are

Code:
ps_file="package1.ps"
echo $ps_file
ps_file1=`echo $ps_file| sed "s/.ps//g"`
echo $ps_file1
ps2pdf -dSAFER -sPAPERSIZE=a4 /tmp/A380_RFS24/amm_r0_ps/$ps_file1.ps /tmp/A380_RFS24/amm_r0_pdf/$ps_file1.pdf

Now i want to store the output of this test.sh file in test.log file.

For this i have written the following command

Code:
test.sh > test.log

But i don't want to store the output like the above methods.

Can i do this one like the following ways????
Code:
ps_file="package1.ps"
echo $ps_file > test.log
ps_file1=`echo $ps_file| sed "s/.ps//g"`
echo $ps_file1 > test.log
ps2pdf -dSAFER -sPAPERSIZE=a4 /tmp/A380_RFS24/amm_r0_ps/$ps_file1.ps /tmp/A380_RFS24/amm_r0_pdf/$ps_file1.pdf > test.log

use the redirection operator >> instead of >

eg: ls -ltr >> abc will throw all the outout to abc and the next time when you do
pwd >> abc
the previous output willl be appened to the new output

Hope this answers your question..

Thanks

You may use the following in ur script ...

Code:
logfile=test.log
ps_file="package1.ps"
echo $ps_file
ps_file1=`echo $ps_file| sed "s/.ps//g"`
echo $ps_file1
ps2pdf -dSAFER -sPAPERSIZE=a4 /tmp/A380_RFS24/amm_r0_ps/$ps_file1.ps /tmp/A380_RFS24/amm_r0_pdf/$ps_file1.pdf

exec 1>${logfile}
exec 2>&1


This will redirect the standard o/p(indicated by 1) and standart error ( indicated by 2) to the test.log file.

Hope this helps !!
