script output

[Igor Sovin]

Hi!
I have a script, that should make a file with it's output. How to do that?
Not using the following:
./myscript > output.file

Is it possible to add some command that would prescribe to save output of script in some file?

You can add the following line at the start of myscript

exec > output.file 2>&1

this will redirect stdout and stderr to output.file.

You can also use command called script

$ script output.file
Script started, file is output.file
$ myscript
$ exit
Script done, file is output.file

Hi Igor,

You can use the following:
1. ./script.sh 1>output.log 2>&1
2. nohup sh script.sh
3. nohup script.sh &
4. script output.log #spool output to output.log
./script.sh
exit #end spool

Does this help?

Cheerio,

would you like to use tee command.

./myscript | tee output.file

This would server your purpose but at the same time would display output on stdout too.
