Assuming your script works fine and you simply want to append it's output to a file, try
Code:
./yourscript >> logfile.txt

or
Code:
./yourscript > logfile.txt

to create a fresh file respectively overwrite the existing one.

If you want it to run automatically, you will most likely want to create a cronjob.
Check this Linux Crontab: 15 Awesome Cron Job Examples (link removed) and see if you can set it alone.

If not, feel free to ask a specific question.

You would have to append >> logfile.txt to the end of every line, beginning from the first echo "" until last line.
Code:
echo " " >> logfile.txt
echo " TITLE " >> logfile.txt
echo "EBS MONITORING APPLICATION SYSTEM" >> logfile.txt
echo "--------------------------------- " >> logfile.txt

and so on...
