How to debug to a file?
I'm trying to debug a script in korn shell

At the begining of the script I've got
#!/bin/ksh -vx

However, this seems to only dump debugging info to the screen. How do I get that sent to a text file? I've tried various redirects but none of them seem to work.

Thanks

The set -x flag will output the debug to the stdout (screen). The easiest way is to include a load of debug statements in the script and direct them into a log file!

Thanks.

I've just discovered something else that will do exactly what I want.

script -a
