UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi Guys,

I have a master script file.

That calls the other script files. The sub script files append some of the data to the log file.

Once the master script completes one sub script execution and returns to execute other sub script that appends to the same log file. the log file gets truncated.
I wanted to preserve the log contents.

how can i preserve the same.

Can you post the command you are using to append text to the log file?

Make sure that you are using double redirection (>>) and not a single redirection (>) for appending.

Hey thanks,

my problem got resolved. I used single greater than operator once in the file.
